Instead of going through the process of checking whether their books had been authorized, teachers closed up shop altogether and fashioned construction-paper barriers to keep students from selecting any of the reading materials.
Fearing prosecution under a new law on library books, a group of teachers in Florida are using construction paper to hide their classrooms’ libraries from students. Manatee County School District Superintendent Kevin Chapman said teachers were instructed to remove books from their classrooms that had not yet been approved by a media specialist, who would determine if the content was “free of pornography” and appropriate for the designated grade level.
However, rather than going through the process of checking whether their books—sometimes hundreds—had been authorized, teachers closed up shop altogether and fashioned construction-paper barriers to keep students from selecting any of the reading materials. “If you have a lot of books like I do, probably several hundred, it is not practical to run all of them through so we have to cover them up,” Manatee High School teacher Don Falls said.
