Douglas Soule writes: “Florida is moving forward with a revised training program for local public school officials in charge of policing library and classroom bookshelves, including changes to language that free speech advocates said misrepresented state law and led to unnecessary book removals. That move responds to concerns prompted by the Florida Department of Education’s October memorandum instructing school leaders to remove any book that contained ‘sexual conduct.’” The Florida Freedom to Read Project noted that “while the language still encourages erring on the side of censorship, what passed corrects erroneous interpretations of the law in previously issued guidance.”
