Graphic Sex in School Libraries? Florida’s Kids Need You to Act NOW!
Send Florida Legislators an Urgent Message
Picture this: a middle schooler pulls a book off the library shelf—graphic sex scenes inside, stamped “literary value” to dodge the rules. Sound outrageous? It’s happening right now in Florida, thanks to a sneaky loophole in the Miller Test. But here’s the good news: we can stop it—if you act right now!
What’s Going On?
Florida Statute 847.001 uses the Miller Test to define obscene content. Problem is, its “literary value” clause is a get-out-of-jail-free card for school districts. Books like Gender Queer, packed with explicit sexual imagery, stay on shelves despite violating educational standards (F.S. 1006.28). Governor DeSantis and lawmakers have fought to protect kids, but this loophole is a gaping hole in their armor. Without change, our children—your children—are left exposed to material that’s been shown to mess with their mental health. The Miller Test was meant for adult eyes, not impressionable young minds.
The Fix Is Here—But It’s Up to Us
Enter SB 1692 and HB1539, two bills from heroes Senator McClain and Representative Bankson. These aren’t just paperwork—they’re a lifeline to slam this loophole shut and keep obscene content out of public schools. They’re sitting with Speaker Perez and Senate President Albritton right now, waiting to hit committee. But here’s the catch: they won’t move unless we make noise. Every day they stall, kids stay at risk.
You’re Not Alone—And Your Voice Matters
Thousands of Floridians, plus groups like Citizens Defending Freedom, and Florida Citizens Alliance are rallying behind this. We’re not just some lone voices; we’re a movement. And you’re the missing piece. Imagine the impact if Perez and Albritton’s inboxes flood with emails from fired-up parents, taxpayers, and patriots like you. They’d have no choice but to listen.
Here’s Your Mission
Take two minutes—seriously, that’s it—to email Speaker Perez and Senate President Albritton. Tell them: “Advance SB 1692 and HB1539 to committee NOW. Florida’s kids can’t wait.”
Why This Matters
This isn’t about censorship—it’s about sanity. It’s about shielding kids from graphic junk masquerading as education. You wouldn’t let it slide in your home; don’t let it slide in our schools. Your email could tip the scales, turning this bill into a victory for every Florida student.
Let’s Do This
Big thanks to McClain and Bankson for stepping up—now it’s our turn. Hit that email button. Share this post. Tell your friends. Together, we’ll show Florida’s leaders we mean business. Our kids are counting on us—let’s not let them down.
In this Substack, we have made the case against age-inappropriate books being available to minor-aged children in Florida counties, especially Polk County, and other government funded public schools across the nation. The books in question contain graphic sexual scenes, and even images, similar to films that are rated R or NC-17. The goal is to curate books in schools in the same manner we have have been doing with age-inappropriate movies, music, and video games for years. Not showing movies like “The Hangover” does not make them unavailable, or “ban” them. We have consistently stated that if a book is too spicy for the little ones, it should be available for adults to purchase at their local or online bookstore. You can read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8 at the links if you have not read them yet.
