Gov. Ron DeSantis pivoted in his years-long campaign to take what he has called 'woke indoctrination' out of Florida's schools, signing a bill Tuesday to restrict challenges to books in school libraries. The new legislation will enforce a limit of one objection to a book per month for people who don't have children in a given school district; those who do have children in a district will continue to be allowed unlimited challenges to library books.
'That involves objecting to normal books, like some of the books that I saw on the teacher's lounge, these classic books,' he added. 'There's people that will try to object to that because they want to create a narrative.' DeSantis went on to say the new bill will counter the 'passive-aggressive posture to try to create conflict, to try to generate a narrative and to advance a political agenda.
