A social media post circulated by Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, claimed that "The Handmaid's Tale," "Of Mice and Men," "The Outsiders," and "1984" were among 21 other books on "Florida's Anti-Woke banned book list." The post garnered over 23.2K retweets and received over 135.4K likes on Twitter. Like the novels it contained, the list was also a work of fiction.
On Sunday, after it was revealed that the list was fraudulent, Weingarten tweeted: "I should have double checked before I retweeted this list. My bad."
