Houston TV station KHOU uncovered a Texas school library banning system that went under the radar, including a number of graphic novels.
A total of 3,000 books from five high schools were disposed of in this manner, including all copies of the above. An official Klein ISD statement to KHOU read that"books can become part of a deaccession list for many reasons including but not limited to: damage, lost or missing for over a certain period of time, obsolete , lack of adherence to TSLAC standards, low circulation, duplicate copies.
" KHOU identified a number that did fit that description but noted that at least 67 separate titles were removed from all libraries after they were banned or challenged elsewhere. Including all nine titles that were listed in a letter that the Texas American Civil Liberties Union sent to the district last year.
