There has been a lot of controversy surrounding book banning in Florida, led by Gov. DeSantis. Even more specifically Duval County schools have been removing more than 100 books from its schools following challenges from parents and residents.This type of censorship is extremely disturbing to me. The books being challenged in Duval County are important works of literature that address important social issues, such as racism and war, and encourage critical thinking. In this podcast I discuss some of the books that have already been banned, and why I think its a huge leap in the wrong direction.
