The fight over school library content in Texas ratchets up in one North Texas city. The Granbury school district is being asked to apologize for removing books it deemed sexually explicit.
The American Civil Liberties Union is among those demanding that a North Texas school district apologize for removing books from its libraries.
"A majority of the committee agreed that over one hundred books on the review list did not include material that matched this definition. These books have already been returned to school libraries," Granbury ISD said in an update. "Granbury ISD’s book removals, including targeting books about LGBTQ+ and racial inclusivity and the history of racism, are plainly a violation of the First Amendment. Even though some books have been returned to the shelves, the removals for more than a month have sent a message to Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ students that their identities and experiences are not valued by Granbury ISD.
