Karen Lowery was accused of lying to gain access to a high-school’s book collection, but denies it.
A far-right member of the school board in a Texas town, who has been on a crusade to ban books, was censured on Wednesday night for allegedly lying to gain access to a high school library.came after dozens of residents of Granbury—evenly divided between those who were appalled by her actions and those who defended her—spoke about what’s being called Librarygate.
“I have never seen such a blatant breach of ethics in public schools,” Herrington said in a post-incident email to Lowery with the subject line: “Results of Investigation of Your UNauthorized Presence in Library.” “No, it's not pornographic, but these are totally uneducational and unacceptable books,” she said. “And there’s more.”
“I ask, WWJD,” Hood County Republican chair Steve Biggers wrote in an Aug.ust 15 email to the board. “What would Jesus do?” At the Monday meeting, several community members also spoke in support of Lowery. One woman expressed concern that“Animal abuse,” she said about the highly regarded novel that decries the treatment of circus elephants. “And, of course, age inappropriate sex,” she added.We all have freedom to use our voice and our opinions, but what you do not have the right to do is use your opinion as a weapon to control other people and control other people's children.
