Greene completes bungles book bans. It is worse than you know. (draft)

 If you thought all the classroom libraries being shuttered and books being banned was bad, put your trays in the upright position and buckle up because it is a lot worse than you know.

Jax Today reported what the other local districts are doing. In St. Johns county, they sent out a banned list of a few dozen books but left classroom libraries for the most part alone. In Clay county, they said, well, we have till July first, so we will take our time and figure it out. Um, JULY 1st!? Do you mean DCPS didn't have to do this during the school year? Do you mean DCPS has 6 months to figure it out?

What the everloving $#@$!!!!

Here is some more from Jax today,

Duval School Board member Darryl Willie says his third grade daughter came home one day after school recently and said she had a horrible day because they had to pack up their classroom books. “So I’m experiencing this just like other parents are,” Willie says. “I have a feeling it’s going to be detrimental to many of our kids. Where are we pulling books from? Some of our kids do not have access, and now we’re expecting them to do great on a test, but they don’t have text to read in a classroom.”

Gee Darryl, if only you knew somebody who could do something. Checks notes; what, he is on the school board? He could do something about it???? Oy vey, why is he there again? You know, I thought he was going to be terrible, but the reality is, he has been alright until @^%$ing now! Is up down, is black white, did D-Wilie forget he was one the school board?

Deep breaths, deep breaths.

Jax Today also reported in the last two weeks, the district's 51 media specialists, sigh, 51, had reviewed 2k books, with 1,598,000 books to go, which at this rate will take about 31 years. 

Let's review, DCPS, a district with a reading problem, only has 51 media specialists; how the beep does that make any sense? Greene chose to shutter classroom libraries during the school year when the district had over six months to figure it out; meaning they did not have to. SB member Darryl Willie is upset, but what can he do? It's not like he is on the school board, oh wait he %$@#ing is. And it will take almost 31 years at the rate we are going to review all of DCPS's books. 

We could and should be doing better. Our leadership has utterly failed us.
