First the headline:
Dear God! The Florida Department of Education is tearing down FREEEEEDOM!!!!!!
Then the introduction:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Florida school system has banned two books that were published by an author based in Nashville.
Ann Patchett, owner of Parnassus Books in West Nashville, took to social media on Thursday, Jan. 4 to announce that two of her books were banned by the Orange County School System in Florida.
In the Facebook post, Patchett revealed that her novels “Bel Canto” and “Patron Saint of Liars” were the ones that were banned.

Wait, now it is “A Florida school system”? Only one? A bit of lie misdirection there Bubba.
And then we see which school system did the deed: Orange County, the House of the Mouse, Los Angeles of the Everglades.
No! You are lying! The Most Progressive County of Florida wouldn’t dare to ban books just because… then again we find out that it is the top county in the Sunshine State for book bans: 673.
We know that in Orange County, the money flows from Disney Corp out and they have not been happy with what Governor DeSantis did to them. So, I will speculate that the leadership of the Orange County School System decided to apply a bit of Malicious Compliance and make news to make the Mouse Overlord happy.
Schools (county level) do not have to ban anything. However, the school board is in charge of finances and budgeting to by books. The school board APPROVED the spending. Hold the school board accountable.
It is up to the school board to DENY the funds to buy filth.
If a parent wants to buy filth for their kids, I suppose that is their perogative, since it is not illegal.
