Texas parents deserve to know who is really in the driver seat when it comes to decisions that impact our kids who attend public schools. Spoiler alert: it’s increasingly NOT the elected leaders you would assume have the most say in curriculum and instruction.

An email from a Republican SBOE member highlighted questions over the relationship between the State Board of Education and Legislature. statesman.com/news/education…

Thank you for bringing this to the national stage. The situation at Wylie ISD's McMillan Junior High was uncovered shortly after similar concerns surfaced in Round Rock ISD, where two high schools were exposed to have quietly removed Bibles from their libraries while stocking Qurans. x.com/i/status/20474…

The Quran is in the library. The Bible isn't. And when students ask why, the principal hides. This is happening in Texas.

Revealing comment from lead Texas book banner Bonnie Wallace. She says her crusade goes beyond sexual content to attempt to remove from schools “content that can permanently change the way of thinking of a child.” In other words, she’s at war with the whole idea of education.

@colorblindk1d @frankstrong @CaitlinPacific Public & school libraries are about access. Having access to literature shouldn’t be something just for the wealthy. It’s about education & literacy in schools. It’s about government censorship & control of ideas. But please, tell us more about the books you can buy on Amazon.

Let's take apart this argument from @drbone4tx that Round Rock ISD is favoring Islam over Christianity in its libraries. Background: After making a mistake in a viral post, Bone now suggests librarians added a Bible to their catalog yesterday to cover their tracks. Lol. 🧵

🚨SCANDAL in Round Rock ISD: High school libraries are stocking the Quran while the Holy Bible has been removed According to the district’s own online library catalog, the Bible is no longer available at Round Rock High School and Cedar Ridge High School — replaced by the Quran — while it remains in at least two of the five traditional high schools. This is the same Texas district that refused to allow Ten Commandments posters in classrooms and arrested two Christian fathers for simply speaking at a public school board meeting. @jeremywstory 🔴Muslim religious text is welcomed. 🔴The Bible — the foundational text of Western civilization and America — is censored. 🔴Christian parents are dragged away in handcuffs. This is not neutrality. This is blatant anti-Christian discrimination. ‼️Parents: It’s time to check your school libraries. Enough is enough. @AmyMek @xpistas @mayes_middleton @txvalues @MQSullivan

THE TPPF INFLUENCED RE-WRITE OF THE TEXAS SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM IS A GRIFT, Y’ALL. And TPPF implied involvement with selecting literary works at the first meeting where the required reading list was discussed, too. 👎🏻 open.substack.com/pub/texassocia…

What’s happening to New Braunfels ISD school libraries is NOT “normal.” Do not allow yourself to become desensitized to censorship. Take action to defend the freedom to read in your community, now! ksat.com/news/local/202…

A school district in Texas has banned books written by the Obamas, Ilhan Omar, Malala Yousafzai, Matthew Perry, Britney Spears, and more. The most fragile and insecure shit ever.
