DeSantis Now Says Teachers Are Shelving Books to Make Him Look Bad - Daily Beast

They're manufacturing that to try to create a narrative,” he said during a press conference Tuesday. DeSantis was backed by Florida’s Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, who called the controversial rules that have forced costly reviews and book removals “fake news.”

“Florida does not ban books, and this particular book on baseball legend Roberto Clemente is currently on school bookshelves across the state!” Diaz tweeted.

However, a spokesperson for the school district pointed out that Clemente’s book is one of 1.6 million titles under review following the state’s restrictive new laws, which have impacted teachers’ ability to teach about topics including race, gender and sexuality in Florida.

Now he's backtracking because he's getting shit from everywhere. Take it to your weird Christo-fascists in Fla Ron - normal people know what you are.

10. Teachers nor anyone else has to do anything to make DeSane-less look bad...

He's doing a pretty good job all by himself.

When does he get any real work done for Florida?

17. I wonder how we will know when Gov. DeSantis ever tells the truth about anything at all?

IMO he never will so the distinction is moot.

20. Great! This and other recent DeSatan moves have backfired. He is tone deaf and refuses to enlist...

...the opinions of other R's. Hogging the spotlight and issuing authoritarian demands of a few House/Senate pals to write crazy winger laws that will (or have been) forwarded for a vote. Most are afraid of crossing him however. Still, his overreach on issues most of us Floridians care not a whit about is going to hurt him in his Presidential run.

21. I hope the people at the DNC that create campaign commercials are taking notes

We saw the letter. It basically said if we find a book on your shelves that has not been approved by the gestapo EERRRRRRRRR I MEAN state of Florida, you can be sent to prison.

Our 2024 nominee needs to beat them over the head with this shit.

Sorry I don’t have the letter. Someone on DU posted it a few weeks ago.

27. if and when you contact him

remember this;

If you do not want the public record contents of your e-mail or your e-mail address to be published on this website or to be provided to the public in response to a public records request, please do not send electronic mail to this entity.

I don't think I've ever seen that on an elected officials website before.

28. 'The only reason this looks bad is because they're doing what I ordered them to.'

Or some-such nonsense statement to soon follow.
