  I teach in Florida. Nearly everything you mentioned is not allowed in our schools right now. What we are facing is wildly unprecedented and people truly have no idea of the widespread effects.
context: "Indecent is a 2015 play about the controversy centered around the 1923 production of God of Vengeance, which was shut down on Broadway for obscenity. It is also considered a queer Jewish love story. "
  You'd think they'd like a play about shutting down a play! >
  
  It's a really beautiful play which has a great filmed production available. It's hardly obscene and is in some ways about people overreacting to "obscenity." It's a moving and sad play. >
  
  I saw it on PBS a few years ago (when I was a closeted FL high schooler funnily enough) and it was stunningly beautiful, probably Paula Vogel’s best writing, and that’s really saying something! I can’t imagine a more ironic piece of art to censor, but given this state’s slide into fascism I’m not at all surprised. >

  Cancel culture is really out of control in Florida >
  
  They are literally cancelling kids from living their dreams on stage. This is cruel beyond the pale. >
  
  Oh, my gosh! That is so despicable! He is literally trying to take over education and turn it into a Christian madrasa. They are going to make all school Bible training and bring back residential schools, with kids being abused nonstop. This is sick and despicable. Ron DeSatan! >
  
  “Indecent contains adult sexual dialog that is inappropriate for student cast members and student audiences,” Duval County Public Schools spokesperson Tracy Pierce told Teen Vogue on Friday. “It’s that simple. The decision has no relevance to any legislation but is rather a function of our responsibilities to ensure students engage in educational activities appropriate for their age.” 
  When I was in high school, I was in a play where two teenagers fuck after only knowing each other a couple of days. It ends in one of them committing murder, and then their double suicide. Not a single person objected to Romeo and Juliet, let alone tried to shut it down. We also read things like Of Mice and Men, Brave New World, 1984, etc. Not to mention studying world history.
  This is so much bullshit.
