Letters to the Editor: A peaceful, diverse book festival: Ron DeSantis' nightmare? (via latimesopinion )
I wish Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose state reportedly has the second-highest number of book bans in the country, had been at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books this weekend.
There, we met authors, heard them speak and asked them to sign our copies of their books, all in peaceful harmony.Books that certainly included titles unwelcome in parts of Florida. Books that had ideas that didn’t meet rigid right-wing conspiratorial standards. Some with ideas about making the world a better place, not a baking, pestilential, fossil-fueled hellhole of hate.
Publishers do not make much money when a school or public library orders one copy of a book. But if a book is banned, it is free publicity, and interest in reading the book increases. There, people could experience Jim Crow segregation, no rights for women and the erasure of pertinent history from the school curriculum.
