To be clear, a photo of buttocks is not, by definition, pornography. (via The ReidOut Blog)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ interpretation of “pornography” is not one based in reality, but it is nonetheless being weaponized to remove books containing no sexual content whatsoever from school bookshelves.reveals what some of these books are: “Sleeping Beauty," which includes a teeny-tiny illustration of the queen bathing from a distance, as well as “House and Homes” by Ann Morris, which includes a photo of a rural African child’s buttocks.

"This book’s representation of feelings and emotions during that time period are above the understanding for most of our students," according to the letter. We reached out to the Wakulla County School District and received a statement from the assistant superintendent, who said: Concerns regarding curriculum from parents and community members are appropriately reviewed. The outcome of the review for the book in question was the recommendation to move the book from elementary school to a grade level deemed more appropriate. This does not constitute a ban as ... students will still have the opportunity to read the book during their K-12 experience.

In that earlier letter, which was grammatically a horror show, the school also noted that some middle and high school students read at a third-grade level and might enjoy the book for fourth graders.
