"DeSantis Restricts Florida Book Challenges, Accuses Activists of Undermining the System"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill limiting the number of book challenges residents without kids can lodge against public school books, citing abuse of the system. Under the new rules, non-parent residents can only make one challenge per month. Florida accounts for the majority of book bans in U.S. public schools, with many of the removed books addressing LGBTQ+ identities, characters of color, race, and sexual experiences, according to a PEN America report.
