@EmilyAddison75 That fully depends on the test essay question, which they don't know ahead of time

[Foundation 451 @Foundation451]

This is the suggested reading list for AP Eng Lit & Com.

This is last year's actual exam. The highlighted titles are banned. Ones with a B are banned in Brevard county. The kids are supposed to pass the exam how?

It's even more restrictive for Cambridge.

This is what I have been working on for the past month. We finished it just last night and it came out today. Please share.

It's not just supplemental materials that are being challenged. One Brevard teacher's use of "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" -- the use of which is allowed according to state-approved textbooks -- was called into question, with Sen. Debbie Mayfield eventually getting involved.

[Finch Walker @_finchwalker]

In response to HB 1069, Brevard teachers must get pre-approval of all supplemental materials from principals — including additional math problems, art projects and "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
These are just some examples of requests that were denied.

When a Board Member has dinner with @Moms4Liberty @momsforamerica he comes back with a list to ban 298 books… what a proud boy 🙄
Not on my watch.

@JenkinsBrevard @rpetty 25 years in education and I never thought I see the day where a state board of education member would be calling random strangers on Twitter groomers and accusing other educators of sexualizing children because we dare to fight back over this deranged censorship extremism. 🤦🏻‍♀️

by the way @Pink @levarburton this is how Brevard is fighting on the front lines. Kudos to @Jenkinsbrevard for calling out #bannedbooks in the name of "Liberty". And local group @Foundation451 for preserving the #freedomtoread

1. On Tuesday, Popular Information reported that librarians in Charlotte County, Florida, were instructed by the school district superintendent to remove all books with LGBTQ characters.

The story spread widely on social media.

Then things got interesting.

@Edna_Mariee @BrevardSchools @KirkusReviews @ALA_Booklist @sljournal @nytimesbooks @BannedBooksWeek @CokalSusann @Candlewick @FLFreedomRead I just found out about this. And ordered copies. :-)

Hope without action is as of little use as prayer without works, and for each, action and works alone suffice.

[Mandy Patinkin @PatinkinMandy]

Thousands of books have been banned in U.S. schools – & it’s getting worse. Join @PENamerica @UABookBans & @writersguildinitiative on Oct. 7 for the Banned Books Week Day of Action and share your favorite banned book with the hashtags #LetFreedomRead & #BannedBooksWeek.
