Books they aim to ban from the classroom include Angela’s Ashes, Clockwork Orange, The Bluest Eye, The Awakening, The Women of Brewster Place and more, lamenting that these “stories of prostitution, suicides, Lesbianism” and other real life issues are attempting to “usurp the family’s responsibility to teach family values.”
They also complain of “stories depicting ‘victims’ of capitalism, and the bigoted, sexist, racist ‘American Culture’ where whites victimize Indians, Mexican immigrants, women, Japanese, Chinese, African-American, and animals,” as if none aforementioned atrocities ever happened in the United States…
The report attacks “unacceptable Islamic religious indoctrination,” referring to world history and social study books.
They call a video on climate change “propaganda.”
Complaining about science books, they aim to remove anything that teaches facts on “evolution” and “man-made global warming.”
Brandon Haught, a leader with Florida Citizens for Science and a Volusia County classroom teacher, said the bills pose a “clear and present danger” to public education.

Hummm I think a certain group in Europe did this along about 1933 or so,,, huge bonfires in the night,, right after secret police raiding homes and shops,,,
I remember back in the '50's, "banned in Boston" was the best rating an author could hope for,,
BTW, did you know two popular songs in our time were banned; Wake Up Little Susie and Beans in My Ears,,, really.
