One of the free state of Florida's biggest counties just blocked schoolkids from reading "The Handmaid‘s Tale," "Beloved" and "Anne Frank’s Diary" https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2025/05/20/more-books-pulled-hillsborough-classrooms-after-state-pressure/

they can't "block" what kids read. you. they can remove books, which for many live-minded humans is a recommendation that you want to find this book and read it.
book-reading adults should do some literary ju-jitsu on the troglodytes
Do kids still read books?

Florida man:
The Diary of Anne Frank?
That [redacted] piece of [redacted] [redacted]?
'Pornographic.'
The list of books banned by the Florida state government and MAGA Florida county governments and school districts . . .
provides you with a great list of what your children should be reading.

Very sad - all three of those books are excellent.
Florida is an unserious place filled w unserious people.

This is not the book written by Anne Frank, often titled "The Diary of a Young Girl." She wrote and edited it. Her father censored it after Anne's death. This is adaptation.
Read Anne's book.
Crazy, it must be the statuary.
Glad I read her diary, as did my children.
I plan on reading the original with my granddaughter in the next few years.
