Stephen King gives blunt three-word response after discovering Florida
banned 23 of his books in schools
Twenty-three of King's novels have been banned from schools in the US
state thanks to a 2022 legislation signed by Ron DeSantis
Stephen King has given a blunt three word response to discovering that
23 of his books have been banned from school libraries in Florida, a
law which is now being challenged by six major book publishers.
In 2022, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a landmark legislation
that targeted books which included any sexually explicit material,
following complaints from conservative group Moms for Liberty.
The law was brought into effect in July 2023 and has seen noteworthy
classics such as Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and The Adventures
of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain all removed from elementary, middle and
high school libraries. Even non-fiction books like The Diary of a
Young Girl by Anne Frank has also been banned.
