I think that's what's called a meta ban. Or irony. Or bloody stupid/ignorant, depending on preference.

Sometimes satire just writes itself.

Have you watched The ABCs of Book Banning? It's a documentary about banned books in America from children's perspective. It's on Amazon Prime. I was shocked at some of the books that were banned (black history especially) - banning books is shocking enough anyway though

In Florida? Stupid, for sure.

No, I haven't heard of it - although I don't have any fancy television, just OTA broadcast. I wonder if the library would have it. Thanks.
