Florida överväger att utvidga restriktionerna för skolböcker

Floridas lagstiftare föreslår ytterligare förändringar av en lag som begränsar böcker som beskriver sexuellt beteende i offentliga skolor. Delstaten är ledande i landet när det gäller bokförbud och kritiseras för potentiellt mer drakoniska åtgärder.

Florida leder för närvarande nationen i antalet bokförbud, enligt en Book Riot-rapport som publicerades den 17 mars 2026. Artikeln lyfter fram en ny utveckling: "Ett lagförslag från Florida föreslår ytterligare ändringar av en kontroversiell lag som förhindrar att böcker som 'beskriver sexuellt beteende' finns i offentliga skolor." Detta presenteras tillsammans med en relaterad anmärkning om Florida som tittar på nya taktiker för skolbokförbud mitt i pågående censurdiskussioner. Publikationen beskriver den potentiella expansionen som att Floridas lagförslag om bokförbud blir ännu mer drakoniska. Artikeln ingår i en sammanfattning av nyheter om bibliotek och censur, som också täcker federal biblioteksfinansiering under Trump och olika utmaningar på delstatsnivå, men som fokuserar på Floridas ledarskap när det gäller restriktioner. Inget specifikt lagförslagsnummer, sponsordetaljer eller tidslinje för passage anges i källan. Book Riot ramar in detta inom bredare trender, inklusive landsomfattande insatser och motstånd från grupper som American Library Association.
