Dictionaries contain words that potentially violate the law's broad language...

A Florida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s ® book-banning law.

The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.

The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.

    My parents raised me in the church and then were surprised when I objected to all of the republicanisms. They decided that “the church was gay.”

    Them : Be Christ like

    Also them: no not like that

      Exactly. They are no different than Moses’ people, trying to form God into an image they can live with. They don’t actually understand their own doctrine.
