Fort Bend ISD Approves “Most Restrictive” Book Policy In Texas
On Monday, Fort Bend ISD approved a library book policy that grants the superintendent the authority to remove books from library shelves without requiring a review committee. The policy, described by critics as the “most restrictive in the state of Texas,” was approved by the Fort Bend ISD board, 5-2. The main focus of the policy is to grant the ability to remove books that the board could think are harmful for kids, especially those containing content that “stimulate sexual desire.” However, parents, teachers, students and librarians have feared this policy would remove hundreds of books.
