DISPATCHES FROM THE INTERSECTION OF THE K-12 IMPLOSION AND WEIMAR AMERICA: Florida school board has parent removed for simply quoting the graphic sex material they are teaching kids.

Eugene Volokh emails:

1.  Are you sure they’re teaching it, in the sense of its being part of the curriculum?  As I understand it, the book was just in the school library, see https://www.orangeobserver.com/article/watch-speaker-removed-from-orange-county-school-board-meeting-for-reading-from-a-book-found-at-school-library.

2.  The post seems to me to suggest that the school board is endorsing the inclusion of the material in school while at the same time refusing to allow it to be read at the meeting; but as I understand it, the chair was saying she was planning to get it removed, and didn’t know it was there (see the video and the article I cited).  Now maybe they should be held responsible for its being in the library, and maybe they should have let him keep reading even though they said they were going to try to remove it from the library; but I think as written the post suggests willful inconsistency on the school board’s part, and I don’t think that’s quite justified.
