Broward County Defies DeSantis on appropriate books for young children

Broward County Schools Defy DeSantis, Distribute ‘Banned Books’ in Other Ways

Well, of course...a blue county so what can you expect? This used to be a RED county but as time passed, progressive socialists infiltrated all levels of local government, including school boards, schools and universities, since they generally start indoctrinating their propaganda into society with the youth. And northern snowbirds took their politics with them.

Broward school officials are resisting DeSantis and Florida state law by attempting to distribute “banned” materials to young children outside of school. This is what Dems do!

Non-age-appropriate material being made available in school has been a concern recently, including books with naked sketches and instructions on sex acts.

Middle school in @AlachuaSchools offers the pornographic book "This Book Is Gay" to students. The book teaches kids about gay sex and encourages the use of sex apps. This is what they're giving 12-year-olds to read in school.

Broward schools’ answer to the offer is a resounding no, with many implying that those concerned with age-appropriate content or potential political influence are homophobic or close-minded. And, in that spirit, the program continues the effort apace to avoid state regulations in distributing their preferred content to children.

Twitter Platform Actively Blacklisted Certain Users, Topics

Conservative viewpoints, voices suppressed

Twitter CEO Elon Musk released several new batches of internal documents, detailing how senior Twitter executives created secret “blacklists” to “de-amplify” certain users, tweets, and topics. The new “Twitter Files” also provided fresh insight on the decisions that led up to then-President Donald Trump being banned from Twitter last year.

The information was released to several journalists, who posted the information in lengthy tweet threads.

Weiss revealed the company’s secret moderation group, the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support” (SIP-PES), which consisted of high-profile Twitter employees. SIP-PES included Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust; Yoel Roth, Twitter’s Global Head of Trust & Safety; CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal; and others.

This group made “the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions,” according to Weiss. Unlike the suppression of accounts with small followings, these decisions didn’t have a corresponding ticket.

They banned Trump, a sitting President, in spite of the fact that he had committed zero violations. I never liked Twitter as I thought those who used it were all left-wing nut jobs like Rob Reiner. Now we all know what was going on.

“The library, which serves Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, said it does not censor books and will keep the controversial titles in circulation until they are no longer in suitable shape to lend out, a spokeswoman said.” [Thinkamericana]

Amazon Banning Books

Amazon Quietly Bans Books Containing Undefined ‘Hate Speech’

Some tech platforms describe it as speech that disparages people based on characteristics such as race, gender, and sexual proclivities. But insider evidence indicates the companies aren’t clear on where to draw the lines, perpetually redraw them, and at least in some instances ignore violations when politically convenient.
