16. According to Friedman, the book promotes "promiscuity" and "pre-marital sex" when "we are supposed to be promoting abstinence." Friedman cited the "Parental Rights Act," also known as the "Don't Say Gay" law, to justify these objections. — PolitiTweet.org

15. Friedman said he did not believe The Girl From The Sea is pornographic. But, according to Friedman, it should be removed from the school library because it is "in very poor taste" and "sets a terrible example for our children, straight or gay." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
14. The actual standard for library books is established by a new Florida law, HB 1467 It states that library books must be free of pornography, suited to student needs, and appropriate for the age group https://t.co/pngptKIsvu — PolitiTweet.org

9. Eventually, Clay County began to reject Freidman's challenges as incomplete because they do not include any real explanation of the objection. But Friedman is undeterred and, in the hopes of getting more challenges accepted, said he has started reading the books first. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum

7. Friedman told Popular Information that, since June 30, he has "investigated between 5 and 10 thousand" books available in Clay County school libraries on "a very cursory level." — PolitiTweet.org

6. Popular Information has obtained dozens of Friedman's challenge forms through public information requests. The forms are identical. The reason for the request is to "PROTECT CHILDREN," the objectionable material is "INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. The Girl From The Sea has been removed from Clay County school libraries because of a new policy, implemented in July, that requires books to be pulled as soon as a challenge has been properly filed. Friedman has exploited this policy by flooding the district with challenges. https://t.co/mMGcSIoeYX — PolitiTweet.org

4. In an interview with Popular Information, Friedman described The Girl From The Sea as a book for "slightly post-pubescent little lesbians." Friedman says he objects to the book being available because students are "not in school to learn how to be better lesbians." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. One of the books pulled from the shelves is The Girl From The Sea, an award-winning graphic novel. The book is about a 15-year-old girl who develops romantic feelings for another girl. The two girls hold hands and, at one point, share a kiss. No sex. No nudity. No swearing — PolitiTweet.org
