By Judge John Marshall Meisburg, Jr., 7-31-25
See this email from Nassau County Assistant Superintendent Mark Durham regarding the status of pornographic books objected to and removed. Great news: The Nassau County School Board voted on July 10, 2025 to remove Nine (9) books “to comply with the directive of the State Board of Education”. The Nassau County School Board has now voted to remove 15 books in all, and 56 books are still pending review. This means that the State Board of Education is actually directing local school boards to remove specific pornographic books, which is a great development.
