It’s safe to say that Stephen King is one of the most well-known and widely read novelists in the world. Many of his books have been made into blockbuster movies, and he has sold more than 400 million copies of his work across the globe.
But if you happen to be a student in Florida, you may never get to read one of King’s books, because the state has just banned 23 of his most famous tomes from schools in the Sunshine State.
King’s books have been pulled from library shelves as the result of a 2022 law passed by the GOP-controlled state legislature and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), according to Newsweek.
“The decision was driven by complaints from groups like Moms for Liberty. Republicans, including DeSantis, have said the legislation prevents students from obtaining books that are not age-appropriate, but critics view the law as an attempt to stifle discussion about issues including race and the LGBTQ+ community in public schools, raising concerns that this law may censor many topics.”
King is getting support to overturn the 2022 book-banning law from six book publishers, but he also decided to express his own disdain for what’s taking place in Florida in a post on Twitter/X that has been viewed several million times.
Others also joined the online debate and expressed their outrage over the blatant censorship being imposed by Florida.
