Looking through the headlines using "Edge" Microsoft's newest browser with AI assistance. You can click on the article and press "F9" and have it read the article. Joy! Here is the headline...
So I opened another tab and used the new AI assistant. I asked it "did Florida school district bans dictionaries?"
it said...In January 2024, reports emerged that the Escambia County Public Schools district in Florida had temporarily removed dictionaries from school libraries to review their content for anything inappropriate, according to the district 1. The district did not impose a ban on dictionaries, including Webster’s Dictionary & Thesaurus for Students, and any claims suggesting otherwise are inaccurate 1. The removal of dictionaries was part of a compliance review of more than 1,600 books in school libraries over fears they depicted or described sexual conduct, as required by a state law that allows parents to challenge educational materials they believe contain sexual content 1. The law created anxiety and confusion across Florida education, as it lacks clarity over what constitutes acceptable educational material, and its provision gives parents the ability to challenge school materials
Then I asked "then why did MSN post this headline claiming they did bad dictionaries "In attempt to shield kids from sexual content, Florida school district bans dictionaries."" it said...I apologize for the confusion. The headline you mentioned is inaccurate. The Escambia County Public Schools district in Florida has not banned dictionaries, including Webster’s Dictionary & Thesaurus for Students, and any claims suggesting otherwise are false
1.

The law created anxiety and confusion across Florida education, as it lacks clarity over what constitutes acceptable educational material, and its provision gives parents the ability to challenge school materials 12. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
I mean really. Who are you going to trust these daze!
