Hillsborough County Public Schools

But for parents that are out there listening, I cannot underestimate enough the importance of being in school every day, being on time.

We have 14,000 of the best teachers anywhere in this country working for Hillsborough County Public Schools, and they can't do their thing.

without making sure that our students are in school every single day.

Every day matters in Hillsborough County Public Schools.

We've been able to see great results because we had a slight uptick in attendance.

And I would say we had the years of COVID, we saw some declines in attendance and students not being in school as much as they should.

Una vocera del distrito escolar del condado de Hillsborough le confirmó a BBC Mundo que cincuenta y nueve libros fueron retirados de las escuelas del condado, pero no respondió acerca de cuál había sido el procedimiento para llegar a esa decisión ni si los que fueron puestos en revisión ya estaban de nuevo disponibles para los estudiantes.

A spokesman for the Hillsborough County School District confirmed to BBC Mundo that fifty-nine books were removed from county schools, but did not respond about what had been the procedure to reach that decision, nor if those that were put under review were already available to students again.

Were they already available to students again? Una vocera del distrito escolar del condado de Hillsborough le confirmó a BBC Mundo que cincuenta y nueve libros fueron retirados de las escuelas del condado, pero no respondió acerca de cuál había sido el procedimiento para llegar a esa decisión ni si los que fueron puestos en revisión ya estaban de nuevo disponibles para los estudiantes.

Al respecto, Stephana Ferrell, de FFTRP, seala: "Esa no es una comunidad decidiendo por sí misma cuál es el estándar y debatiendo la decisión de negarles a ciudadanos jóvenes el acceso a un libro o una idea en particular".

some select scenes from gravity's rainbow at a school board meeting i believe in florida um attempting to ban gravity's rainbow from uh what is this hillsborough county public schools it's

always florida i just read an article the other week about a professor in florida who was fired or they attempted to fire her because she assigned a short story that had something to do with like a faculty member fantasizing about sex with her students and amongst a series of other short stories on challenging topics and I did think when I read that story I was like boy wouldn't they have a heyday with gravity's rainbow laughing And it seems maybe they are indeed having a heyday with Gravity's Rainbow.

Does that mean they're reading Gravity's Rainbow in the Hillsborough County school system? Or is it just like in a library that they administer?

I want to be clear.

Don't go docks.

Don't go dox the Hillsborough County Public School.

People do not want to be accused of, like, doing targeted harassment.
