Florida teachers forced to remove or cover up books to avoid felony charges

State’s new bill goes into effect prohibiting material unless deemed appropriate by a librarian or ‘certified media specialist’

School teachers in Florida’s Manatee county are removing books from their classrooms or physically covering them up after a new bill went into effect that prohibited material unless deemed appropriate by a librarian, or “certified media specialist”.

If a teacher is found in violation of these guidelines, they could face felony charges.
