Civil rights groups demand apology after Granbury ISD removes library books

The American Civil Liberties Union is among those demanding that a North Texas school district apologize for removing books from its libraries.

"A majority of the committee agreed that over one hundred books on the review list did not include material that matched this definition. These books have already been returned to school libraries," Granbury ISD said in an update. "Granbury ISD’s book removals, including targeting books about LGBTQ+ and racial inclusivity and the history of racism, are plainly a violation of the First Amendment. Even though some books have been returned to the shelves, the removals for more than a month have sent a message to Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ students that their identities and experiences are not valued by Granbury ISD.

Good I guess that BIG government the right complains about so much didn’t win this time.

Skip the apology and resign.

Texas GOP getting more and more facist everyday.

Why is it the party that decries 'cancel culture' is the one that's banning and burning books?

Good.

The Trump Republican Party!!!!

now if only somebody would remove FOX from the planet.

Good. Censoring thought and ideas is not democratic. Don’t want your kids to read something in particular? Work it out with your teacher. Schools are a partnership with parents, the community, and society. Don’t demand totalitarian censorship for all.

ACLU wants North Texas school district to apologize for removing over 100 library booksThe ACLU of Texas is calling on Granbury ISD to apologize for the removal of more than 100 books from its library shelves. A majority of the books removed center on LGBTQ+ or race-related topics. Granbury W Great for them! This is going to be corrected. They should not apologize on any level. Texas Tribune is racist because they only promote democratic, far left ideologies that the majority of real Texans do not. I mean why not, ya'll throw that word around relentlessly. If you want to be queer or your genetics have been that fucked up that you are then so be it. But don't even try on any level to push that shit on the rest of us or our children. Period.
