Natalie Davis 🇺🇸🇵🇹🇺🇦<p>Under Ron DeSantis&#39;s book crackdown, 20 books by Jodi Picoult just got banned at one county&#39;s schools. One of them is &quot;The Storyteller,&quot; about the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor.</p><p>&quot;Picoult said she’s puzzled by the ban, because she does not “write adult romance,” as objections filed against her books claimed.</p><p>“Most of the books pulled do not even have a single kiss in them,” Picoult told us. “They do, however, include gay characters, and issues like racism, disability, abortion rights, gun control, and other topics that might make a kid think differently from their parents.”</p><p>“We have actual proof that marginalized kids who read books about marginalized characters wind up feeling less alone,” Picoult continued. “Books bridge divides between people. Book bans create them.”&quot;</p><p>&quot;Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too.&quot; - Heinrich Heine</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RonDeSantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RonDeSantis</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Florida</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BookBan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BookBan</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JodiPicoult" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JodiPicoult</span></a></p><p>Gift article 🔗: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/10/ron-desantis-book-bans-martin-county-jodi-picoult/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJpZCI6IjMwODExMTUiLCJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNjc4NDI0NDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNjc5NzE2Nzk5LCJpYXQiOjE2Nzg0MjQ0MDAsImp0aSI6ImU1YmNlZDIwLTFhNzctNDE3Yi1iNDc1LWViY2JjZTc2NmM4OSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9vcGluaW9ucy8yMDIzLzAzLzEwL3Jvbi1kZXNhbnRpcy1ib29rLWJhbnMtbWFydGluLWNvdW50eS1qb2RpLXBpY291bHQvIn0.VUwlTM1gEyjexjfoVaIkLPOOKo2sbsRDZ1Jb3O9yLzQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/opinions/20</span><span class="invisible">23/03/10/ron-desantis-book-bans-martin-county-jodi-picoult/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWJpZCI6IjMwODExMTUiLCJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNjc4NDI0NDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNjc5NzE2Nzk5LCJpYXQiOjE2Nzg0MjQ0MDAsImp0aSI6ImU1YmNlZDIwLTFhNzctNDE3Yi1iNDc1LWViY2JjZTc2NmM4OSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9vcGluaW9ucy8yMDIzLzAzLzEwL3Jvbi1kZXNhbnRpcy1ib29rLWJhbnMtbWFydGluLWNvdW50eS1qb2RpLXBpY291bHQvIn0.VUwlTM1gEyjexjfoVaIkLPOOKo2sbsRDZ1Jb3O9yLzQ</span></a></p>
Bongolian<p>Greg Sargent &amp; Paul Waldman: Ron DeSantis’s book ban mania targets Jodi Picoult — and she hits back</p><p>&quot;Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants you to know he’d never dream of engaging in mass censorship. He held a recent event challenging criticism of his classroom book restrictions as a &#39;hoax,&#39; releasing a video suggesting only &#39;porn&#39; and &#39;hate&#39; are targeted for removal.&quot;</p><p>&quot;This week, Florida’s Martin County released a list of dozens of books targeted for removal from school libraries, as officials struggle to interpret a bill DeSantis signed in the name of &#39;transparency&#39; in school materials. The episode suggests his decrees are increasingly encouraging local officials to adopt censoring decisions with disturbingly vague rationales and absurdly sweeping scope.&quot;</p><p>&quot;&#39;Banning The Storyteller is shocking, as it is about the Holocaust and has never been banned before,&#39; Picoult told us in an email.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/desantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>desantis</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/florida" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>florida</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/jodipicoult" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jodipicoult</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/martincounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>martincounty</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fascism</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/10/ron-desantis-book-bans-martin-county-jodi-picoult" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/opinions/20</span><span class="invisible">23/03/10/ron-desantis-book-bans-martin-county-jodi-picoult</span></a></p>
Babs E. Blue #IStandW/Zelensky<p><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a>. I'm reading The Storyteller by the ever wonderful writer Jodi Picoult on <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/WorldBookDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldBookDay</span></a>. Her books always stick with me and this is one from 2013 I hadn't read....about several people past and present linked by the horrors of the Holocaust but still with hope for the future. Historical fiction at it's finest.</p><p>Another to read by <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/JodiPicoult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JodiPicoult</span></a> is Small Great Things which looks at racism by many points of view in an unforgettable story. Loved it! </p><p><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/IamReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IamReading</span></a></p>
