    I’m glad I left Florida over a decade ago. It’s only gotten much worse since then. Miserable, humid, stupid shithole.

    One of the things Florida has banned this year is a reading tracker app called Beanstack. The commissioner of education sent a letter to all superintendents of schools (at the county level) directing them to share it with all staff and parents.

    Florida says Beanstack gives children access to inappropriate material. I’ve used it to track summer reading for myself and my family. All it does is record reading and completion for books you enter. If you scan a book Florida considers inappropriate, you already have the book.

    At this point I’m more interested in the books they unban or don’t ban. Somehow I feel like they’d be ok with a public library with copies of the Turner Diaries

      Rich of you to assume their ok with a public library. Let’s be real their constituents are illiterate and the powers that be would rather the next generation be even more mindless therefore easy to manipulate. It’s like cattle to the slaughter…
