Bostonians to send banned books to Florida

GBH reports on work by local online entrepreneur Paul English and Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners member Joyce Linehan to set up BannedBooksUSA, which lets Floridians pick a book from a list of books their governor objects to and then order it for just the price of shipping.

Some of these books are not age appropriate for certain kids.

I wouldn’t buy them for my children and I would hope I sons school would try and push it on him.

Education should be age appropriate.

Better ban them for all kids of all ages, then! Solid reasoning.

We can't solve our own issues so we will turn Florida blue with books? We will show them all, what a joke.

I'm picturing DeSantis curled up on the floor in a corner crying for mercy pleading, "No more! We'll keep the refugees and asylum seekers, just stop sending those books!!"
