A Florida teacher made his students participate in a TikTok video with him where he was mocking the Florida Department of Education for keeping books out of the classroom that deal with pornography, CRT and gender ideology.
In the TikToks, this teacher has his students pretend to read books and he then comes around and takes them away:

As DeSantis said the other day about a different video showing books being taken off the shelf, this TikTok is nothing but false narrative. This teacher wants his students to think that DeSantis and his Department of Education are all about banning books, but that’s simply not true.
This is nothing but a politically motivated video that has nothing to do with the truth. This teacher should suffer the consequences for misleading his students.
UPDATE: PLACED ON LEAVE

From the article:
Orange County Public Schools announced a middle school teacher would be placed on administrative leave after using students as “political props” in TikTok videos that implied Florida schools were banning books such as dictionaries.
