HB 900 would remove books from school libraries that are deemed to contain "sexually explicit material." HB 1804 would require teachers to use books that "present positive aspects of the United States and its heritage", and not allow books that "encourage lifestyles that deviate from generally accepted standards of society".
"A lot of these books are around LGBTQ+ themes, the experiences of people of color," said Emerald Belmarez, organizing strategist with the Texas Freedom Network."There was a book about farts," said Belmarez. "And apparently to some people it promoted sexual and explicit content.""They’re wicked books. They don’t need to be in there," said Llano County resident Barbara Light, speaking to FOX 7 last week.
"They’ll have to put taboo all over the books and throw ‘em out the door and burn ‘em. That’s what I think about it," said Light.
