DeSantis signs bill limiting book objections in school libraries

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill to limit challenges to books in school libraries, aiming to combat what he calls "woke indoctrination" in schools.
The new legislation allows one objection per month for Florida residents without children in a school district, while those with children have unlimited challenges to library books.
DeSantis acknowledged some districts went too far in removing titles, following a report by PEN America on high book bans in Florida during the 2023-2024 school year.
