‘It’s absurd’: North Fort Myers teacher resigns after school removes in-class library

My story is getting a lot of local traction. Yesterday I spoke before the League of Women Voters in Sanibel. Today my story was above the fold on the front page of my local paper, the Fort Myers News Press. I have a couple of interviews today. Hopefully, we can build momentum for some real change!

Andoscia resigned after the school boxed up his library, placed the books in “administrative lockup” and told him to take them home, Andoscia said in an interview.
