Florida librarians are now required to take an annual training on which books and instructional materials, specifically ones containing pornography and Critical Race Theory, are allowed within schools, according to the Florida Department of Education.
Florida’s top education officials on Wednesday approved a rule to carry out a new state law requiring school-library employees to complete training sessions as part of an effort to increase scrutiny of library books and instructional materials.
A law past last year requires school boards to adopt procedures that provide for the “regular removal or discontinuance” of books that don't align with state standards, among other factors.
