1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.
2. Officials from the Manatee County School District confirmed the new policy to https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ.
The policy was communicated to principals in a meeting last Wednesday.
Teachers are in the process of being informed now.
3. Teachers in Manatee County lamented the news on social media. "My heart is broken for Florida students today as I am forced to pack up my classroom library," one Manatee teacher wrote on Facebook.
4. Another Manatee teacher called the directive "a travesty to education" that interfered with efforts to "connect with books and develop [a] love of lifelong learning."
5. The new policy in Manatee, which is likely to be duplicated across Florida, was issued in response to HB 1467, which was signed into law by DeSantis last March.
That law established that teachers could not be trusted to select books appropriate for their students.

The American dipper (Cinclus mexicanus), aka water ouzel, is North America's only truly aquatic songbird—the "hummingbird of blooming waters" as Muir wrote
Dippers flit about rocky streams, diving and swimming through the currents to feed on aquatic larvae and tiny tadpoles/fish
American dippers are named for their habit of rhythmically bobbing when perched
But why do they dip?
Theories incl: blending in w/ turbulent water as camouflage; enhanced scoping of underwater prey; visual communication in noisy
Cornell Lab describes the dipper's burbling song as "evocative of the rushing whitewater streams this species calls home in western North and Central
John Muir was enchanted by the American dipper/water ouzel and included a chapter about them in "The Mountains of California"

Hey @SecDef, is it appropriate for a retired three-star to teach @USArmy PSYOP techniques to cult members?

Confederate flag guy Kevin Seefried "had not considered the logic of those who see the flag as a symbol of American racism" before Jan. 6 and is "ashamed" that "many view him as a racist," his lawyer tells the court.
"Lacking an education beyond the ninth grade and lacking even average intellectual capacity..." 💀💀💀 https://t.co/3kJsRiK3kl
"The fallout for heeding Mr. Trump’s call has been devastating: Mr. Seefried’s wife has left him, he is headed to prison and he will be destitute when he is released."
Kevin Seefried was wearing a colostomy bag when he jumped through a broken window carrying a confederate flag. His lawyer says a two-year prison sentence would be "far more punitive for him that it would be for a young, healthy defendant" like his son.
Government seeking 5 years, 10 months for the rioter who jabbed at Officer Eugene Goodman with a confederate flag.
"You can shoot me man, but we're coming in."
