Broward school libraries will remove a sexually explicit teen graphic novel that Gov. Ron DeSantis's administration categorized as “pornography.” The book “Let’s Talk About It: The Teen’s Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human” was in the libraries of three schools, Fort Lauderdale High, Coral Glades High in Coral Springs, and Nova High in Davie. It has now been removed.
Broward school district spokesman John Sullivan said, “Once we received a complaint, we initiated our review process of the material. During the review, the book will be removed from our schools.”
The complaint came from the Broward chapter of the socially conservative group Moms for Liberty, and its affiliate Moms for Libraries. Bryan Griffin, DeSantis’ press secretary, tweeted Wednesday evening in response to the Broward School District’s removal of the book. He said, “Good. It is pornography.”
As per the officials, the books the governor’s staff said were in Orange and Seminole county public schools have already been removed.
A review in School Library Journal, which describes itself as the premier publication for librarians and information specialists who work with children and teens, has praised the book.
