Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank

I'd guess that with these orgs and partnerships they'll be focused mainly on issues, needs, policies to move forward community wellness and state feduciary wellness and independence. So that's definitely yes, I'd guess. But like that's always going to mean infighting unless non-negotiables get set
