@digiphile @CommunityNotes I’m angry at this community note, yes. Because I worked hard on this piece and the fact check not an accurate description of the situation. Sorry to take that out on you. I’ll be writing a complete response to the note — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@digiphile @CommunityNotes That’s not at all what the fact check says. I’m aware books were covered. There are literally multiple pictures of covered books in my thread. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@digiphile @CommunityNotes What you are missing seems to be reading my story. None of the books have been vetted. Saying only unvetted books must be removed is incoherent — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@digiphile @CommunityNotes The point of a classroom library is to provide books for students. Whether they are physically removed or made inaccessible is immaterial. Students can’t get to them. My reporting is completely accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

The linked article does not support the claim of the fact check — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a message sent to teachers at a Manatee high school TODAY: “Remove or cover all classroom libraries until all materials can be reviewed" Why is Twitter telling it’s readers that all books aren’t being removed? @elonmusk — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This fact check by its own terms, is incoherent. “All books are not being removed” “Only unvetted books are being removed” As of today, all books are unvetted! The policy to have librarians get all books was just announced! — PolitiTweet.org

.@elonmusk is a public supporter of Ron DeSantis and has repeatedly encouraged Twitter users to vote Republican. Now his website is appending inaccurate information to my reporting to defend DeSantis’ policies. It’s outrageous. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This “context” or “fact check” of my story is INACCURATE. All books in classroom libraries ARE BEING a REMOVED or made inaccessible because they have not been vetted by a librarian. https://t.co/SzHzgelT64 https://t.co/lTRrEJSR2i — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: This policy is being rolled out in the county right now. Teachers at Bayshore High School in Manatee were told this AM to "Remove or cover all classroom libraries until all materials can be reviewed" — PolitiTweet.org

20. The training instructs librarians to "err on the side of caution." As Popular Information reported earlier this month, Manatee County schools have already removed several books from school libraries because they contain LGBTQ characters or themes. https://t.co/mppSnprpSh — PolitiTweet.org

19. A subsequent slide provides a list of "unsolicited theories that may lead to student indoctrination," which includes information about "sexual orientation or gender identity." It also includes a variety of topics related to race. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
18. Rather, librarians are told: "There is some overlap between the selection criteria for instructional and library materials." One slide says that library books and instructional materials cannot include "unsolicited theories that may lead to student indoctrination." https://t.co/OZZqTdNU4J — PolitiTweet.org

17. The Stop WOKE Act is also limited to classroom instruction. The teacher training approved by the Florida Department of Education, however, does not inform librarians that "Don't Say Gay" and "Stop WOKE" do not apply to library books. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
16. "Don't Say Gay" prohibits all instruction on "sexual orientation or gender identity" in K-3 classrooms and instruction in other grades that is "not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate." But the law applies only to "[c]lassroom instruction" — not library books. — PolitiTweet.org

15. Chapman did not answer the question, saying only that librarians are expected to apply the training issued by the Florida Department of Education last week. That training, Chapman says, includes "new definitions of inappropriate material." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
14. Popular Information asked Manatee Schools Chief of Staff Kevin Chapman if librarians & teachers were expected to remove books that violated the Parental Rights In Education Act, known as "Don't Say Gay" or the Stop WOKE Act, which limits classroom discussion of racial issues — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
13. The librarian's review of classroom books must also be consistent with a complex training, which was heavily influenced by right-wing groups like Moms For Liberty and approved by the Florida Department of Education just last week. https://t.co/lORhzpdhGN — PolitiTweet.org

11. Librarians in Manatee County are now expected to review thousands of books in classroom libraries to ensure compliance with the new law. Any mistake could result in criminal charges. Manatee has 64 public schools and 3,000 teachers, many of whom maintain classroom libraries. — PolitiTweet.org
