New College of Florida tosses hundreds of library books, empties gender diversity library
A dumpster in the parking lot of Jane Bancroft Cook Library on the campus of New College overflowed with books from the Gender and Diversity Center.
Hundreds of New College of Florida library books, including many on LGBTQ+ topics and religious studies, are headed to a landfill.
A dumpster in the parking lot of Jane Bancroft Cook Library on the campus of New College overflowed with books and collections from the now-defunct Gender and Diversity Center on Tuesday afternoon. Video captured in the afternoon showed a vehicle driving away with the books before students were notified. In the past, students were given an opportunity to purchase books that were leaving the college's library collection.
Some discarded books included "Nine and Counting: The Women of the Senate", "The War of the Worlds" and "When I Knew," which is a collection of stories from LGBTQ+ people recounting when they knew they were gay. Several books from the GDC were retrienved by local activists before they could be taken for disposal.

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis's stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don't suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out...
He is term limited. He can't run again.
He will be ineligible to run again in the next Florida gubernatorial election in 2026 and will leave office in Jan. 2027.
I'm not sure there will be a Florida left by Jan 2027.
Florida government is pretending the proverbial iceberg of climate change is a hoax and want to go ahead full steam.
Silver lining for them is that the iceberg is melting.
I’m not sure there will be a Florida left by Jan 2027.
Oh no... anyway.
He's already got his eyes set on a national prize. He wants to spread his sickness to the rest of the country.
But actual people and not the senile hate his weird ass
He's term-limited I think.
