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.

Nobody's forcing you to buy any of those books.

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!!"
