The movement to ban certain books is gaining traction in Florida and around the country. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is  riding the book ban bandwagon to national fame  (after first riding the COVID misinformation bandwagon) as he prepares to run for president.  Organized groups have popped up over the past two years  to work with rightwing politicians to enact book bans and push back on diversity and, um, history, in school and library books. Politicians, legislatures, and conservative leaders are helping push the clock back to when we had good ol' fashioned 'Merican history and book learnin'—before education was complicated with things like inclusion, gender issues, and a reckoning with our nation's racism.
