Lawmakers have increasingly labeled books about LGBT people as porn.
Two books in the middle of a statewide debate about "appropriate" books in schools. Gender Queer was removed from Keller ISD after a parent complained. Not My Idea was held up by state lawmakers in session as an example of a book on racism that troubled them.This is a developing story that will be updated throughout the day.
In a letter sent to superintendents on Wednesday, the Republicans said local districts and the Legislature will work to prevent such books from being allowed at schools in the future. But more can be done now, Rep. Jared Patterson, R-Frisco, wrote in the letter signed by 26 additional Republican lawmakers.
The book was purchased from a vendor as part of a bundle of books, Patterson wrote in a social media post. This becomes a prevalent issue at fast-growing districts where administrators purchase thousands of books at a time to set up new libraries, he noted.
