HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) sent a letter to the Hillsborough County Schools Superintendent alleging that they have pornographic books in several high schools.
FDOE said they found the high schools had two books, Call Me by Your Name and Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts), which have been found in several high schools that they deem "pornographic and inappropriate."

"Let me remind you that you are responsible for every aspect of your school district.

Hillsborough County Schools said they have no comment on the letter as it was sent this morning.
Brides, families fighting for refunds after event venue closes suddenly
“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”
Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
