El año pasado, Florida implementó más prohibiciones de libros que cualquier otro estado del país, lo que representa más del 40% de todas las restricciones en Estados Unidos, de acuerdo con un informe publicado por PEN America, una reconocida organización sin fines de lucro que se enfoca en crear conciencia acerca de la protección de la libertad de expresión, un derecho contenido en la primera enmienda del texto constitucional.

Días atrás, Florida se convirtió nuevamente en noticia luego de que más de 350 libros fuesen prohibidos en las bibliotecas de escuelas públicas del Condado de Collier, al suroeste del estado. En el extenso listado se incluyeron 16 títulos de Stephen King y otros autores como R.R. Martin, Joyce Carol Oates, John Grisham, Nora Roberts y Wiston Groom.

Lo anterior es posible gracias a que a partir del 1° de julio de este año entró en vigencia en el estado la ley 1069 que, de acuerdo con un comunicado de la oficina del gobernador Ron DeSantis, “protege a los estudiantes de tener que declarar sus pronombres en la escuela”. Además, este proyecto de ley amplía los derechos de los padres en la educación al prohibir la instrucción en el aula sobre orientación sexual e identidad de género desde preescolar hasta el octavo grado.

El texto legal establece que el contenido de un libro que “represente o describa una conducta sexual” puede ser impugnado y prohibido para enseñar temas relacionados con la orientación sexual e identidad de género. Ahora, para poder tener acceso a estos, deben ser los padres quienes autoricen expresamente que sus hijos puedan leerlos. Esto forma parte del paquete de leyes anunciado por el gobernador republicano como “Let Kids Be Kids” (en español, “dejen que los niños sean niños”.

En ese orden, no solo King opinó respecto a la prohibición de más de una decena de sus libros cuando expresó de forma irónica en su cuenta en la plataforma X: “¿16 de mis libros? Algo debo estar haciendo bien”, sino que Pink, la cantante, anunció que regalará 2000 libros prohibidos en varias de sus presentaciones al sur de Florida esta semana, en asociación con PEN America. Este martes y miércoles, la estadounidense estará en Miami y Sunrise en el marco de su gira “Trustfall Tour”.

A continuación, se ofrece un listado de 298 de los libros prohibidos en Florida y sus autores, de acuerdo con información tomada de la página web del Departamento de Educación de ese estado.
