Every time I hear something about #Florida, I comfort myself by reminding myself that the whole damn state will be under water before too long.
"Pressed by Moms for Liberty, #Florida school district adds clothing to illustrations in classic children's #books"

Apart from the #education & #censorship issues here, & the "liberty" of a minority to dictate what everyone else can see, there's a #copyright issue. But it seems that the school hand-drew clothing on the book pages (which is lawful under #FirstSale) & did not reprint copies with altered images (which would be infringement).

"#Florida school district removes dictionaries from #libraries, citing law championed by #DeSantis"

PS: It turns out to be a myth that Victorians covered piano legs for the sake of modesty. But one day people will hear that Floridians removed dictionaries from school libraries for the sake of modesty, or prudery, or protecting the children, and wonder whether it's a myth. The truth will be out there, but not in Florida libraries.

1/ Florida has proposed a bill intended to intimidate & silence people--bloggers--who want to critique the governor or state officeholders

I won't call it fascism--which it IS--because the word has no meaning for some
Instead let's look at the 1798 Sedition Act
Passed by the Federalist-controlled nat'l government, it made it a crime for US citizens to "print, utter, or publish...any false, scandalous, and malicious writing" re: the gov't.
