The debate over book bans in Florida schools has reached a fever pitch, with Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler breaking down in tears as parents furiously demand her resignation. The controversy has been fueled by the inclusion of books with explicit content, such as those depicting sexual acts and pedophilia, in public school curricula and libraries. MSNBC's Joy Reid and Ziegler engaged in a heated exchange, with Reid's show highlighting the phrase 'She Liked to Say the Word Dildo' and Ziegler arguing for parental rights and educational appropriateness. The ACLU of Florida has criticized the book bans as unconstitutional and unpopular, noting that some Florida lawmakers acknowledge they may have gone too far. The discussion has extended to the role of Governor DeSantis in banning books, the omission of books challenging progressive orthodoxy in schools, and the broader issue of censorship and the types of books allowed in school libraries.

Progressives claim conservatives are banning books, but an investigation reveals that books challenging progressive orthodoxy have been omitted in America’s schools: “It’s very one-sided. There’s something deeply wrong.” https://t.co/PK4GJ6Y8yB
Those books don’t belong at our kids school libraries and schools period. https://t.co/Hq0sWwXZW2

When DeSantis bans books from the school curriculum, there is a cry of censorship. When woke school librarians ban books we get crickets…that’s the system working the way it’s supposed to. https://t.co/gpzF7vxqxR

GREAT JOB @4TiffanyJustice ! And you know what Joy Reid? If a “liberal parent” or an “LGBTQ parent” wants their child to read books about anal rape or strap on dildos they can order the book on amazon but it does not belong in public school libraries. https://t.co/Gfy6zxUtVk
Joy: Why shouldn't "liberal" or LGBTQ parents be able to access these books for their kids? Well, they can, the question is about them being at school. Why can't racist hillbillies have racist-ass books in the schools for their kids? Don't they have a "right"? F-ing Communists. https://t.co/GsKaDRXsOk
I don't need to be an "expert" to know that strap-on dild*s and anal r*pe aren't appropriate content for public school curriculum. https://t.co/q2gEa0RqDr

Certain Florida lawmakers realize they went too far with the book bans. Not only are book bans unconstitutional, but they are really unpopular. https://t.co/n50obVJhr2
