Teacher fired over video of bookshelves allegedly empty from DeSantis’s book banning

Brian Covey, a Florida teacher, has been fired after posting a viral video of a school library’s empty bookshelves. Covey’s video showed the effect of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s ban on LGBTQ+ and racial content in schools, but DeSantis publicly disavowed Covey’s video as a “fake narrative.”

Covey, a substitute teacher at Mandarin Middle School in Jacksonville, posted the original video on January 27. In one of his posts about the books’ removal, he wrote, “They removed every single book from my children’s classrooms… I read books about the consequences of this when I was in school.”
