"DeSantis Enacts Law Restricting School Book Challenges in Florida"
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that limits the ability of individuals without children in a school district to raise objections to books, allowing them to raise only one objection per month. Parents with children in the district, including those with home-schooled children, can still file unlimited objections. The law aims to address logistical challenges posed by a controversial 2022 law and has faced criticism for leading to an increase in banned books, particularly those with race-related or LGBTQ content. Governor DeSantis stated that the legislation focuses on core academic subjects and rejects classroom indoctrination, aiming to protect schools from activists trying to politicize and disrupt the book review process.
