In the Tom Woods Letter, Tom Woods explains the misconceptions around “book bans” in Florida, writing:
There’s a singer known as Pink, who after the reversal of Roe v. Wade made a point of emphasizing that she didn’t want pro-lifers as fans, and who later became a vaccine salesman for Pfizer.
She’s now spreading even more disinformation with the bogus story of Florida “banning books.”
She’s planning to distribute these allegedly banned books at her concerts.
People tried to explain to her that the “banned books” are in fact legitimately pornographic (this is not an exaggeration, even though I realize it sounds like it has to be).
Undeterred, she came back on Twitter with a short list of obviously non-pornographic books she claims are banned in Florida.
But again, she’s been (obviously quite willingly) snookered.
The truth of the matter goes well beyond the obvious, that removing books from a school library is hardly the same as “banning” them. The real point is this: there are no state-level book bans in Florida, period.
