NEW YORK — A group of residents in Llano County, Texas, is suing county officials for removing books from public libraries because officials"disagree with the ideas within them."
The complaint states that the library system's policy claims that “in no case should any book be excluded because of race or nationality or the political or religious views of the writer."In December 2021, the Llano County Library shut down for several days to review the children’s books in the library. The move followed a directive from Matt Krause, the chairman of the Texas House Committee on General Investigating.
Several plaintiffs wanted to join the new board but say they were refused due to their"public stances against ongoing censorship efforts in the County." He claimed that “a portion of the public and media have chosen to propagate disinformation that Llano County are operating with political or phobic motivations," and said that such was not the case.
