May I ask what books are being removed and why?
Ah… when people who don’t read books are given the authority to control how future generations are educated.
This is the crap that makes me wish I had never read 1984.
More context:
>Granbury ISD, at the High School library, they came with a hand cart and carried away multiple boxes of books tagged with “Krause’s List”.
>They can do this because the board voted 7-0 on Monday to change district policy allowing books to be removed prior to a review.

The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
“It says on your resume you were educated in Texas? Ah, thank you for coming in. Next please!”
A Handmaid’s Tale, V for Vendetta, Firestarter, The Last Man, Valkyrie:Book One, these are filled with dangerous ideas that could make Texas a pretty unsettling place to live.
There will always be haters, and librarians who don’t give a fuck. Books will overcome.
We’re just like being cool with doing the same shit fascists have done? Wtf is going on in this country?
Banned books are the best books
The idea that people think books are ruining society is freaking wild.
The device I’m typing on has 8 bazillion trillion more offensive things than an old ass book.
Take away the internet and phones if you wanted to make a difference, and good luck trying that.
It’s just so completely moronic.
And they say the liberals are promoting cancel culture. Damn.
We live in a dystopia. 1984? Wait for 2084
It’s a good thing that Texas is in the very south of America, befitting its status as America’s asshole.
Are they aware that the books they are trying to destroy could be found online for free?
I wonder where we’ve seen this before
Banning V for Vendetta, oh the irony
I love that one of the books that’s banned is “real talk about sex and consent” Matt Krause’ worst nightmare.
Those kids would be really upset if they could read.
Officials – “Ok, we don’t want kids to read these! I know, we’ll BAN them!!”
Kids – “I didn’t care to read it before, but now that it’s illegal, I’m going to read all of them now!”
I swear, idiots that do stunts like this simply aren’t familiar with kids at all, are they? What’s the fastest way to get a teen to do something (that isn’t a chore)? Tell them they’re not allowed to do it!
Is this cancel culture?
Fahrenheit 451 over there. To be fair, if anywhere in the US thats the place we would expect.
I wish this was a relatively new idea in Texas but it’s not. Book banning is supported by several in certain communities. I remember in elementary school a group of parents wanting Harry Potter to be banned in elementary schools because of the violence in it as well as the idea of witches. A lot of these people oddly enough were ok with the Old Testament being read to kids.
Unless it’s porn mags, or something like the anarchists cook book I can’t see why banning books on the high school level is allowed. Maybe not assigning certain books as required reading but just not allowed at all in the library is absurd.
Krause’s List sounds like the name of a book about something like this happening.
Fascists gonna fascist
10 bucks they didn’t ban “Mein Kampf”
These are the same people who cry about cancel culture.
