Texas lawmakers’ attempts to ban school library books deemed inappropriate for kids spur confusion — and concerns - KPRC2 TexasTribune
Though the bills do not explicitly mention books that center LGBTQ people or experiences, some worry that’s what will be targeted in any bans that pass.
Vendors will not be able to sell to districts or to open-enrollment charters any books they deem to have “sexually explicit material.” Students wanting to check out “sexually relevant” material would have to get parental approval. Vendors range from independent local shops to big-time companies and stores like Amazon or Walmart, Robinson said.
School boards have typically set policy that helps support library standards at the district level, serving as a sort of first line of defense to help ensure that materials are appropriate, Robinson said. There are also policies that inform specific situations — such as when a book needs to be replaced — as well as policies for people to contest the availability of particular books.
