A Florida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s ® book-banning law.
The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.
The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.

That’s because they hate gays and are looking for justification, not because they believe in Christ and are seeking to become like him. Don’t mistake using religion as an excuse for actual religion. If it weren’t for the Bible, they’d cite something else.

Some people who claim to be Christian, do. But hate is hardly limited to Christianity. It’s not a Scotsman fallacy if a core tenet of the group is being blatantly ignored. It’s only a Scotsman fallacy if the point has nothing to do with being in the group.
