Hi! I'm from Pensacola. There is way more to the story, but the book banning is one of the straws on the camel's back. Tim Smith is an outsider who was "appointed" by our school board and instead of promoting from within, brought in friends from his area and diversity hires for school board positions. He also majorly screwed up a charter school negotiation. There is a lot to it, but a lot of people are happy to see him go.
