``February 17, 2023--Books about Roberto Clemente and Hank Aaron from the Essential Voices collection are among approximately 10,000 books that have been reviewed and approved through the new State-required book review process.'' The fact is there was a purchase of 1,300 books from Perfection Learning. ``The current effort to review all media center and classroom library books, which is now required under State law,'' was reviewed and completed. Those books were not banned. As I said earlier, there are, on average, 13 to 14 books about Rosa Parks per school in Duval County. Those are the facts. That is the truth. This is a complete misrepresentation designed to scare people when, in fact, we want to empower parents and provide Sunshine for the American people to protect their kids.
