UNITED STATES — A Florida judge has ruled in favor of the state in a challenge by the Florida teachers union, which claimed that rules restricting what books and materials are available in classrooms went beyond what was intended by the state’s school library laws.
The 2022 law requires districts to catalogue every book in their school libraries and create a formal review process for complaints.
However, some parents have sought to have certain books removed, leading to a series of lawsuits.
The ruling allows books in classroom libraries to be reviewed, offering what critics call a diminished education for young Floridians.
