Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank.
A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring.
We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down.
Make sure that the truth will out.
Yes we do need to do that
But Mein Kampf is not banned in Florida.
Is this really happening?
Florida sucks
Classic Florida.
Censorship isn’t education—it’s erasure. Keep copies, write everything down, and ensure future generations see what’s really happening.
They ban the classic book that shows the tragedy of antisemitism and racism more generally through the words of a young woman. And then they claim that they are fighting antisemitism. Yeah, like the Proud Boys and their hero Trump are!

Now is the time to buy a gazillion copies and hand deliver them to libraries and schools.
The dimming of the American mind.
This is INSANE! How is this possible?!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
I remember visiting the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam and crying the whole way through it. You leave through a gift shop, and I bought the Diary again and stuffed the contribution boxes with all the money I had on me. It was painfully moving.

Hundreds of titles are being pulled from library and classroom shelves in the Republican-dominated state
What possible reason could they give for banning this book? (They don’t want people to know what’s coming??)
How does this square with Trump’s purported war on antisemitism?
What's the reason for this? I think those who decided this either never read the book or simply don't want to understand the meaning Anne Frank's words. Nazi's banned books too!
They don’t want to give the children any ideas where to hide when ICE comes.
but...yeah...the left is into cancel culture
smh
Gusano scum legislature
The Red Flags are Everywhere! WakeUp and Fight Back America! #Fascism & Trump’s #tyranny are already here!
There’s your antisemitism
Even the part where someone rats them out and the Nazis send them to death camps? Sounds like a text book to me.
There’s only one sort of person who doesn’t want people reading the Diary of Anne Frank. We thought they were defeated in 1945, but they’re creeping out of cracks all over the West.
Like really? Not a hyperbolic extension based on stuff they have banned.? They've banned a book based on the recovered diaries of a girl who died in an extermination camp?
So we will be assured of another generation of idiots.
A friend of mine once asked why I have so many books I can't possibly read in one lifetime. As a hedge against the forgetfulness of the future. Or the present. A wise and fore sighted policy in the event.
We are in THAT PART of history, I see.
Stewpid !!!
And the Florida Jewish population thinks what
Why? On what grounds?
Shocking to the voice of a lived experience of one so young & full of promise in her possession of humane spirit. Who was killed. There should be outrage all over the world.😡
List the names of the people on the school board who voted for it.
How many Floridians think like this??
Time to show the movie in class?
Unbelievable that they think they can hide the truth and erase history.
when i was in 5th grade (~14 y/ago) in ultraconservative rural louisiana they had us start reading anne frank for a unit, and then made us randomly stop reading halfway thru and never brought it up again
i found out later that it was because anne frank mentions starting her period later in the book
To be fair, #Desantis makes Nazis look really bad.
Unbelievable but not surprising. A party that bangs on about free speech, like all extreme right wing people, mean only for what they want to hear. Why not go the whole hog and emulate 1930's Germany with book burnings? Meanwhile "I love the poorly educated" has gone from mantra to policy.
The judge ruled the law is unconstitutional as it infringes on the First Amendment rights of students.
That should be a very loud warning
😱
The FUCK???????
During WWII, England had diarists, who wrote down history as it happened.
I did it with Covid. I kept 2 years of data on 2 states and 3 counties on spreadsheets to determine mine and my family's safety by tracking increasing or declining outbreaks.
Those sheets are in the safe.
So, when is the media, ordinary people going to come to terms with the truth: Trump, GOP, MAGA are white supremacists. Wake up and stop complying. Demand Impeachment. Constantly Complain make GOP miserable. Only we can end this madness.
It’s not banned.
It’s been removed from two school libraries due to sexual content policy.
I have many, many copies because I knew they were going there. Maybe I’ll start quoting excerpts.
I took my preteen to Anne Frank House this year. She read the diary before we went and it moved a deep part of her soul, just like it did for me when I read it at her age.
You do your children no favours trying to destroy evidence of the past.
We're not stupid enough, ban some more knowledge. These pills are great, though.
I read it in school, but seeing this made me just order a hardcover copy for my home collection. They don't get to erase history.
Probably above DeSantis’ reading level. He probably fears the content because he can’t comprehend it. Doesn’t seem to be a student of history. 😜
WH operatives & decision makers = racist FOOLS!
What are they so afraid of?
The graphic novel was removed / banned maybe while reviewing / in Vero Beach. Not statewide. The original diary remains on the shelves.
Geez, both parties and all media needs to be fact checked.
this administration does not support the jewish people. it supports racism.
#Campout For Freedom April 20th York.
They plan to create millions of Anne Franks soon unless you overthrow them
When did so many become so soulless?
In the age of information I’m all for dissemination, but like don’t digital copies exist? Book burnings and banning are symbolic now, yes?
A book that our children read as part of the curriculum!
I remember, this book was a part of my school lessons. We also did a test about it.
Well it does make Nazis look bad.
Fascists don't want you to know about fascism.
What does AIPAC say about this? Instead of filling a lawsuit, I'm sure they will be silent as the segregationist bigoted fascist white nationalist Republicans banned the book. They only speak out when they perceive antisemitism is done by a melanin rich person. #RejectGOPFascism #EndGOPFascism
Heard they banned Maya Angelou and Kurt Vonnegut too 😬
Inbred mother fuckers
Floridians are stupid fucks. But then back the child fucker trump.
Let's not be them. FL didn't ban the book. Some schools in FL did.
Florida sucks in so many ways but this may be the worst.
A Federal Court Judge in Orlando called Florida's book removal law "overbroad and unconstitutional" and struck down parts of it in a new ruling.
Florida could use Dexter right about now 🤨
Making UhmerKKKa Dumb Again (too late)
🥵
And buy copies of Anne Frank's diary and give them as gifts to teenagers. Tell them it's a banned book.
-“Stop showing porn to muh children.” -No one did. Or -Do you even have kids?
The truth will not set Republicans free. 😜
Are you flipping kidding me? Seriously what the? I guess when the president’s hero is Hitler and deSatan is your governor what should we expect
More info?
They should instead ban the Bible.It’s a science-fiction piece of crap loaded with lies+hate,started many wars and killed+tortured so many ppl in the name of “God”..Yes ban the Bible not the journal of a frightened but damn brave girl who just wrote the truth of what she was seeing hearing+living..
Wow. Just wow.
Teach the unabridged version in response.
Make it a lesson in what she lived. Assign acquiring it without a single other adult finding out they have it.
That's a tiny way of learning it.
Woooooowww.
Our beloved Anne Frank was already banned once at the cost of her young life. Why is her memory now banned… this will be at the cost of other young lives 😕
Bible verse of the day.
Shouldn’t Republicans ban this book like other books are being banned or challenged for sexual content, or claims of it being sexually explicit?
READ BANNED BOOKS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. And Fuck Florida.
Copies to be downloaded here:
Circulate it, read it.
If it harms the image of fascists it has to be banned no one ever said but they banned it nonetheless because too many people correspond with what Anne Franks went thru then is happening now in the United States of America.
I just finished (5 min ago) a novel called the Collector of Burned Books. There was a real-life Library of Burned Books in Paris which only contained books that Nazis had banned/burned. Until the Nazis occupied Paris, of course. But thinking those types of libraries would be useful now.
BuT wE’rE woRrieD AbOut aNtiSemiTiSm!
Maybe if we called it the dairy of Anne Frank they would put it in every freaking grocery store and say it's raw and is good for everybody
If they’re looking for books to ban I could make a suggestion. Not sure who the author is…. ‘The Art of the Deal’
What? WTF? Thats mandatory historie in german scooling, so we won't forget waht may happen, if you wote for man like Alice Weidel AfD, Adolf Hitler NSDAP oder Trump GOP.
Oof is this Dutchy tempted to 'accidentally' bring a copy from The Netherlands on a vacation there now....
it might have something to do with the military being in our streets and our people being hunted down right now. don't look at the timeline we're in right now. go beyond it, that's where the Final Solution is for America
Everyone should read it #Librarystaff
they're busy working on the sequel
De Satan spews sh*t and children will learn from PragerU. Florida public schools have been in constant decline for a very long time. It wasn't always like this.
to get it, you can just place an order in a free country for delivery by mentionning that it's a Mein Kampf copy. it's seem US is no longer the land of the free... I know, I'm sarcastic.
When did this happen, and what does this mean? A Barnes and noble in Florida isn’t allowed to sell copies of it? What are you talking about?
Isn’t that anti-semitic? Trump punishes universities for being anti-Semitic. Punish Florida trump.
Can one of you nice Americans tell me why they are banning it?
Dear Kitty, Nazi's are back!!! This time in a country far from Amsterdam, but Nazi's they are. Just like their fellow Nazi's in '40-'45 are they deporting people they don't like.
Hope this will not end like I did.... murdered in concentration camp Bergen Belsen.
Love Anne.
My banned books library is growing
When does the book burning take place?
#Boycott.FLoriduh
IT IS THE STATE OF CRAZY.
The diary of Anne Frank is one book that I did a book report on and it was so good that I actually read the whole book. And I watch the movie.
This is not true, it’s misinformation circulating on fb posts. Versions of it were pulled for “review” in 2023-24 in specific districts but are back on shelves. This is absolutely not in defense of Florida or their major role in book censorship
Five dictionaries are on Escambia County's list of more than 1,600 books banned pending investigation in December 2023, along with eight different encyclopedias, The Guinness Book of World Records, an...

The internet never forgets.
The pendulum always swings
I thought their book ban was barred. Regardless what the actual fuck. Who bans this? The willful desire to commit the same atrocities in our government is absolutly vile. Because that is the only reason you ban that. You want to repeat it.
to give a little more background, it was a graphic novel version. Not that it makes it any better.
Your post is manipulative and hysterical, why don't you put more effort into your future reporting?
🥺 Not "Florida", but ONE library removed the book. 🥺The original Anne Frank Diaries were not removed. The graphic novel adaptation was. apnews.com/article/cens...

But…all of those Jewish Floridians who voted for this…🤨
Florida where logic, ethics, morals and curiosity go to die; while stupidity flourishes.
We must be extremely vigilant. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Our picture book was pulled from library shelves in Florida. The argument being used to defend the ban threatens the right to read.
Why would Florida have a problem with Anne Franks story? What’s the big deal? Is it hitting a nerve?
If only they decided to ban guns so quickly....
You may try and erase that history but you won’t, and this history will go down as the worst pathetic thing that was ever tried in America.. We have just started America, let’s start Rocking and Rolling!!!
Just as the gestapo is rolling in(NG)...can't have the kid's aware and knowing what's about to happen.
I felt nauseous after reading the first sentence.
...meatball ron thought it glorified young women being strong and brave, both things he is not, and that piqued at his deep-seeded inner pussy, so he knew he had to ban it...

If I had kids who what to read books that are being banned in the states we live in , i would get them eReader like the kindle for kids and let them put it on their i may even read it myself
American institutions can forward the valuable historic documents and objects to Canada for safe keeping until the end of the fascist era. Hopefully by January 2029!
📌
My fucking god... and people still has the gall to get offended when you call them nazis.
Can't have people reading people's lives who are victims of genocide. They might start questioning what is happening in Palestine.
I agree Fascism is completely on the rise, however, this is a bit misleading. They banned a graphic novel based on “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl”. The original is still in circulation. But I’m sure it’s in the Moms for liberty’s scopes.
Well is anyone really surprised 🤔
You mean Florida hates Jews too? Who would have guessed?
If I lived in Florida, I’d order like 200 copies of The Diary of Anne Frank and then go leave them absolutely everywhere
Wouldn’t banning the diary of Anne Frank be anti- Semitic

Sad, just straight up fascism and most of America doesn’t seem to care. Went there 2 years ago.
WTF!!! I've heard people say that she was captured by foreign invaders. Yep, true. But, it was local Dutch informers who enabled her captors. Something like the Republicans in Congress are enabling the Fascist/Nazis in Trumpland now.
Exactly, eventually someone's defense to all this is going to be that it never really happened.
That is because it portrays the Nazis in a very bad light; we keep forgetting the softer side of Hitler.
Book mobiles and libraries should print and distribute thousands of free copies
Stupid motherfuvking fascists.
Sad, ridiculous, sick.
🤦♂️
In other news Floridians become the largest buyers of bridges.
someone should helicopter drop paperback copies into the communities
What was their justification?
Screw deathsantis i already read it and will tell “ all” about it! It clearly illustrates what FASCISTS can and will do for a TRAITOR….. Release the E files
Literally what
WHAT?!
When I hear people talk about how books can create empathy, I think of this book. I remember reading it and thinking "this girl is just like me." It was profound to me as a kid.
Florida is on Hitler's side. Literally.
From what I can see, the ban applied to a graphic-novel adaptation of the Anne Frank story, not the original book.
Still, that a state is banning books at all is a sign that it's in a seriously bad way. Reports are a federal judge has struck down the state law, so the book may be reprieved?
That tracks.
Well, not exactly. It’s a graphic novel adaptation.
But still.
katiecouric.com/news/book-ba...
An organization called "Moms for Liberty" successfully banned an Anne Frank novel from a district in Florida. They're only getting started.
Why would anyone ban this?
Seriously?
No way! Come on… can’t be true… please
And this is NOT antisemitism? The faux outrage this administration is using to gut higher learning. Warning to zionists, you are on his list right after the Latinos and Blacks.
What?
They don’t want people to know what’s coming
how fecking shameful
Did they give a reason for this stupidity
Florida sucks enough that we don’t have to tell half truths.
A school district banned an “illustrated version” of the diary because it made light of the Holocaust (but also on parents complaints the version had LGBTQ material 😒).
www.usatoday.com/story/entert...
The school district has created a procedure for reviewing books that receive complaints. The School Board has the final say.
Nazis burnt books in Germany in the 1930s watch out America that may come after banning books.
This is bullshit
What the Absolute Fck!?!
WTAF! 😳 That’s disgusting… how dare Florida? All the calamity is blatant and disgusting… such censorship and hatred is evident…
They ban the Dairy of Anne Frank because they are afraid of women speaking their mind. Young women talking about their sexuality. In general Gop in Florida are afraid of women. #resist #stopfascism
Censorship is an attempt to silence history. Those that ban books are not the protectors.
Which is why I am glad Slam Frank is a real musical.

Banning this just verifies FL is a big part of our fascism.
That's not good
If I was a blue State, I'd offer teaching jobs to any teachers who get fired in Red States for teaching banned books in their classrooms.
"Bans the 'Diary of Anne Frank'"---- OK, kids. Let's discuss THAT phrase and it's implications.
And it hides that Ann Frank was rejected as a refugee by the USA.
I’m currently re-reading it. It’s sobering to me how Anne’s parents had her continue her school studies and plan for the future. We humans are interminably hopeful.
Is there any bottom to the depths to which the USA is sinking?
They intend to repeat history.
Snopes says that this is not true.
WTAF??!! We, the people have got to take this country back. No more messing around! Sign up! We strike!
The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.
Canadas libraries will still have copies. It’s just your fascist regime burning relevant books.
Nazis hate reading about themselves
Let's ban Florida.
Considering that FL is committing its own atrocities at its very own concentration camp in the Everglades... this is on brand for DeSantis & FL state legislators.
Reason for ban? Very curious??
DeSantis wants it banned because it makes him look like the NAZI he is.
With this 👇🏽in charge surprised?
Add this to the charge sheet. Nuremberg 2.0
Not quite true. They have pulled a graphic version but not the original. They were removed for reviews
Banned books, nah, just hit google on any or all banned books and you have it at your fingertips for free. Not how it should be, but we have to still provide folk with a way to skirt the facists and read the forbidden texts. Yes?
