Rons at it again

[Pete F.]

Teachers at Parrish Community High School in Manatee County, Florida were told this morning to "remove or cover all classroom libraries until all materials can be reviewed."

Moving forward no book can be added to a classroom library until it is:

1. Approved by a media specialist

2. Reviewed and approved by a School Advisory Council (SAC) of parents, teachers and students

3. Signed off on by the principal

You can understand how already overstretched teachers may choose simply not to maintain a classroom library that than jump through all these hoops

Only about 50% of Manatee students currently read at grade level.

if teachers hadn’t abandoned their duty in so many cases and out pornography and liberal indoctrination in from of their kids, the state wouldn’t have done this

The citizens of FL made a crystal clear choice in the last election. Pete, no one expects you to like it. You could put down the insanity long enough to admit it.

"Only about 50% of Manatee students currently read at grade level."

Keeping pornography and DNC material out of the schools, seems like a good idea then. Let them focus on the basics.

From the attached article...

Manatee County Schools Chief of Staff Kevin Chapman told 10 Tampa Bay teachers were not directly told to shut down their classroom libraries. Many are opting to, anyway

three criteria every book must now meet:

Free of pornography and material prohibited under S. 847.012, F.S.
Suited to student needs and their ability to comprehend the material presented.
Appropriate for the grade level and age group for which the materials are used and made available.

"Chapman said he suspects most books on teachers' shelves already appear on the approved list."

Doesn't exactly sound like a good old fashioned book burning.
