This is not a parody!

The dumbing down of America continues...

"A Florida School District, has removed several dictionaries from its library shelves over concerns that making the dictionaries available to students would violate Florida law.
The American Heritage Children's Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary are among more than 2800 books that have been pulled
from school libraries and placed into storage. The District says these texts may violate HB 1069, a bill signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in May 2023."

"Along with dictionaries, the books removed from Florida school libraries include eight different encyclopedias, and two thesauruses.
Classic texts like Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl, The Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile are no longer available to students."
