Florida school district pulls dictionaries for ‘sexual conduct’ descriptions
Officials say materials – including encyclopedias and other books –
violate state law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis

A Florida school district is facing a federal lawsuit after it decided
to remove copies of dictionaries, encyclopedia and other books because
the works included descriptions of “sexual conduct”.

The Escambia county school district, located in Pensacola, Florida,
removed several dictionaries and encyclopedias from school libraries
after school officials determined that the books violated Florida law HB
1069.

The law, signed by the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, last year,
restricts access to materials containing “sexual conduct” in Florida
classrooms.

During the district’s 2023 summer break, officials removed at least
eight encyclopedias and five dictionaries.

Good grief.

My first thought was that this must make teaching biology very
difficult in Floriduh. That can't be right. So I took a look at the
actual law, and yes, despite an heroic effort, this law is just vague
enough that it makes teaching anything about "sexual conduct" illegal--
even the birds and the bees. The law itself is pretty obcene.

"(19) ?Sexual conduct? means actual or simulated sexual intercourse,
deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, or
sadomasochistic abuse; actual or simulated lewd exhibition of the
genitals; actual physical contact with a person?s clothed or unclothed
genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if such person is a female, breast
with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of either party;
or any act or conduct which constitutes sexual battery or simulates that
sexual battery is being or will be committed. A mother?s breastfeeding
of her baby does not under any circumstance constitute ?sexual
conduct.?"
