Dictionaries contain words that potentially violate the law's broad language...

A Florida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s ® book-banning law.

The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.

The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.

    Because an infallible God is trying to herd very fallible people, which is way harder than trying to give a group of angry cats a bath.

    He is also working through fallible people, which is why a personal relationship with Him is so important. That is essentially what Christ taught.

    Just saying what their scriptures teach. You don’t have to believe it, but it is much more consistent than people claiming to be Christian would make it seem.
