A high school classmate of mine who lives in Florida sent me this. SMH


Confirmed by teacher friends in Sarasota county…what a devastating way to start the year. They are trying to break us…but they must not know what we’re made of.
Yesterday teachers in Sarasota County were told:
*No purchases or donations of any kind of books or reading materials
*No Scholastic book orders for teachers
*No book fairs
*Parents can request alternative instructional materials for ANYTHING we teach
*If we want to read anything to our kids, we have to get it approved in advance
*Don’t give kids any gifts tied to reading
*Our amazing librarian can’t even do read alouds with our youngest students.
Is this what you want for your children?
Only allowing them to view what’s in state approved textbooks? Some counties in FL are only allowing textbooks to teach the standards. If a teacher wants to read a book to his/her students in our county, he/she must get it approved first.
