25 years or so ago, for a convention (handicap related convention), I went to a large city in a very "red" US State. I had to go to the mall for something. In that two floor mall there were 4 Book Stores that sold nothing but Bibles. And to top that off, seemed every other Radio Station (FM) there were preachers reading the Bible.
I could see 1 Bible Store in that mall, but 4 in the same mall ???? How many types of christian bibles are there ?
Where I live, I never ever saw a book store that sold nothing but Bibles. In book stores here, there would be a small section in the rear that had various bibles.
So, that is my prediction for FL, you herd it first here :)
... Florida House Bill 1467. It requires all schoolbooks to be reviewed by a district employee holding an educational media specialist certificate, to ensure the books are grade level appropriate and free of pornography.
how books with porn got into a childs library I dont know, makes sense you would want to be thorough in reviewing everything.
Edit: Just read the bill in full; the only mention of 'pornographic' in the bill is that schools are required to let parents present evidence that a book is pornographic.

> Each district school board must adopt a policy regarding an objection by a parent or a resident of the county to the use of a specific instructional material, which clearly describes a process to handle all objections and provides for resolution. The process must provide the parent or resident the opportunity to proffer evidence to the district school board that: [...] b. Any material used in a classroom, made available in a school library, or included on a reading list contains content that is pornographic
It seems to me that the biggest change here is that the state is mandating that media specialists are systematically undermined.
