Description:

In July 2022, Florida Governor DeSantis signed Florida House Bill 1467. It requires all schoolbooks to be reviewed by a district employee holding an educational media specialist certificate, to ensure the books are grade level appropriate and free of pornography.

Shortly after the bill went into effect, videos started popping up on social media of empty school bookshelves.

Brian Covey, who posted a video of those empty bookshelves, joins Meghna Chakrabarti.
