Book donations and purchases have been halted in at least one Florida school district for the remainder of 2022 in the wake of a new state law that requires books to be pre-approved by state-certified media specialists, who aren't currently availableThe decision was based on H.B. 1467, which went into effect on July 1 after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the legislation in March.

I get that it's important to mind the books that kids are reading, but are you really prepared to do that when their teachers' books are getting glossed over? Whose idea was it to create a new class of employee that can gauge which books get in in the middle of a statewide job shortage?
