    Reminder this is all a consequence of the DeSantis ("Capable Administrator") - Pushaw Government's "Don't Say Gay" law.

    It is a wholesome and inspirational story. But When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball is one of nearly 150 books that Vicki Baggett, a high school English teacher, is seeking to ban from school libraries in Escambia County, Florida. According to a challenge form submitted by Baggett on August 24, the purpose of When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball is "race-baiting," and the book is not appropriate for any student.

    Congratulations to Gov. DeSantis

    So a random person is requesting to not have a book in their school's library. Wow. Thanks for letting us know.

    All signs point towards that woman being a redneck idiot, possibly racist.

    This is AMERICA. Teachers don't get opinions. They're here to shut up and babysit. (not my rules, I wish teachers would FIGHT for their value) GOOD LUCK

    More proof we should pay teachers more. Need to create more competition so people like this don’t get jobs.

    ATW doesn't understand that the media content he spams and is addicted to accomplishes nothing besides haarrasment campaigns and accusing anyone they disagree with as pedophiles.
