This article lost me at “book bans.” There are no computer book bans. Books are removed from some grades for being inappropriate for those grade levels.

Good for Florida.

"books are being reviewed for their compliance to HB 1069 – a bill approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis last year that, along with requiring schools to teach that "reproductive roles are binary, stable and unchangeable" and limiting education regarding sexual health, also bans schools from having books that depict or describe "sexual conduct" or "is inappropriate for the grade level and age group for which the material is used."
