News@lemmy.world•‘State-driven censorship’: new wave of book bans hits Florida school districts
5·8 months agoOne 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.

Context: to make way for a permanent memorial. Florida’s rough, but this isn’t attempting to erasing the event.
