Gilead Notebook: Sheila Zinkerman, a leading voice in Flagler County for the freedom to read everywhere, re-posted on Flagler Pride, the Facebook page, a post from Tamara Solum about the current state of routine book censorship in Florida schools, in this case in a middle school classroom in Manatee County. The top picture was pre-censorship. The next two are post-censorship. “Our Governor will not allow students to read from classroom libraries until all books are vetted by a special library specialist to not contain certain topics involving race, LGBTQ+, slavery or other vague forbidden issues. Believe it. Censorship is alive and well in Florida,” Tamara Solum wrote, reporting what the teacher had reported, which follows, with an explanation of the pictures (only three are reproduced below): ““Before and after. My kids decorated the blank paper hiding their books for
NATIONAL LITERACY WEEK which is…next week. One girl was making a poster that was just the definition of “irony” but she didn’t finish it yet.
Additional Note: I just want to break (the picture with hand sanitizer) down for you. (This picture shows)
•The bulletin board paper covering the books kids are no longer allowed to read
•The art statements from the kids. The hand sanitizer and masks the kids request even though “mandates” are forbidden
•The “safe zone” sign because the bookshelf area is where they hide during active shooter drills
A perfect picture of DeSantis’s Florida.”
Posters the kids made say:
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. . . The man who never reads only lives once.”
“We Like Books”
“Knowledge is Power”
“Readers Gonna Read”
“Free the Books”
“There is no Friend as Loyal as a Book”
“My Weekend is all Book-ed”

When high school students in Shanghai crack their history textbooks this fall they may be in for a surprise. The new standard world history text drops wars, dynasties and Communist revolutions in favor of colorful tutorials on economics, technology, social customs and globalization. Socialism has been reduced to a single, short chapter in the senior high school history course. Chinese Communism before the economic reform that began in 1979 is covered in a sentence. The text mentions Mao only once — in a chapter on etiquette. Nearly overnight the country’s most prosperous schools have shelved the Marxist template that had dominated standard history texts since the 1950’s. The changes passed high-level scrutiny, the authors say, and are part of a broader effort to promote a more stable, less violent view of Chinese history that serves today’s economic and political goals. […] The French and Bolshevik Revolutions, once seen as turning points in world history, now get far less attention. Mao, the Long March, colonial oppression of China and the Rape of Nanjing are taught only in a compressed history curriculum in junior high.

–From “Where’s Mao? Chinese Revise History Books,” by Joseph Kahn, New York Times, Sept. 1, 2006.
