Freedom to kill and let die
Restricting access and limiting what one can learn and experience is the epitome of indoctrination. This is what cults do. >

Yeah sounds like communism to me. The irony! >

"Certified media specialist" sounds straight out of 1984. There may as well be a Ministry of Media department. I don't understand how r/conservative supports this level of censorship. >

Next the fundies will fight to appoint fascist librarians. >

No, that's not the play.  Anybody can be a librarian.
You just make it so schools can't fund a library, so they can't hire librarians.  Then you control the certification process for 'certified media specialist' to only allow people who pass some sort of ideological purity test.
Just like how the Federalist Society was created to groom judges and then use their influence to get 'their' judges into federal courts.  There could be some non-profit controlled by someone DeSantis likes that becomes the certification authority for media specialists.
Now you have a political figure appointed to oversee any school or school district who conforms with your ideology.
Republicans have no problem making the government bigger if it provides them with more power. >


Anybody can be a librarian.

No, they can’t. Fascists could do the rest of what you described and set up a fascist certification system but actual librarians would not be involved. These people would absolutely isolate themselves from the library world. >

Librarians wouldn't be involved, I 100% agree.  That's why they'd just cut funding for school libraries so they can't hire any librarians.
Then the only people who can approve books are the 'certified media specialists' which can mean whatever the hell DeSantis wants it to mean. >

Remind me how will this survive a first amendment challenge.  Or that it is essentially unenforceable because they can just find a librarian to "approve" everything. >

They will control who a "certified media specialist" and likely intimidate librarians who won't play with criminal prosecution. De facto censorship of everything due to fear of legal ramifications. State legislature for certain won't check this. And who knows what the SC will do. At best refuse to hear the case... >

"The new guidelines for the Florida law, known as HB 1467, outline the books be free of pornographic material," 
let's see if they pull the bible for its description of penises and ejaculation.
"suited to student needs and their ability to comprehend the material, and appropriate for the grade level and age group."
you can be in 4th grade with the reading comprehension of someone in 8th grade. yet they will argue the material content of an 8th grader would be "more mature" and so the 4th grader is restricted access to these books because of their age and not because they can't handle the content. 
isn't this also an example of the government deciding what children can and can't handle instead of the parents and the kids themselves? ya know, the very thing conservatives rally against? >

Desantis literally said that the ap black history class was blocked for a section on queer theory. These are college level courses for kids in their late teens. It has nothing to do with age or impressionability. >

I’m sorry but I don’t think queer theory is necessarily college level. Academically speaking or capacity based, it isn’t hard to comprehend. 
The question, and this is moral and legal, is how far does the state go to protect their interest in our children’s safety, based upon what WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE for their age, rather than allowing the market place of ideas theory and allowing children to decide what is appropriate for themselves. 
The issue is that children are in a vulnerable state until they mature. But on the other hand, do we indoctrinate our children by giving up their freedom in place of a state sponsored ideology of what is appropriate for them and what is not? 
These are legal and ethical questions society will need to grapple with and solve. >

There is nothing ethical about what DeSantis is doing. The legality is also dubious. >

When the Nazis did this type of thing, we largely opposed it. 
Now it is the program of the Republican Party. >

Way, way too many Americans were sympathetic then too. >

Lots of them were cool with the Kennedy Assassination as well. >

This fucker read 1984 and said "hold my beer!" >

That was after reading Fahrenheit 451 of course. >

What happened to Florida's parent choice? Seems like only certain parents are deciding for all kids. If you don't want your kid to read a book, just have the librarian not let them check it out. My kid should still be able to read it. >


My kid should still be able to read it. 

You are now under investigation by the state of Florida >

State government makes laws censoring speech and literature: Conservatives ~~sleep~~ cheer.
