Stephen King shared a brutal response after discovering that a handful of his books were banned from school libraries in Florida, USA. Taking to his X page (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday (August 31), the King of Horror wrote: “Florida has banned 23 [of] my books. What the f**k?”
As of 2023, Florida has seen an increase in the removal and restriction of certain books in public schools, driven by legislative measures like the “Parental Rights in Education Act” and the “Stop WOKE Act.”
These laws, passed in 2022, restrict discussions on sexual orientation, gender identity, and race, leading to challenges against books that cover these topics.
