Texas Senators Push Back on 'Harmful Materials' in School Libraries

Original: Battle of the Books: Some Texas Senators Push Back on ‘Harmful Materials’ in School Libraries

Some Texas state senators are escalating a fight over what books belong in school libraries, pushing back against materials they label harmful for students. The debate adds Texas to the roster of US states where legislators are weighing restrictions on library content, drawing support from parents' groups and criticism from free-expression advocates who say such measures limit students' access to a wide range of viewpoints.

Why now: Book-banning and school library content restrictions are an active, polarising political debate in Texas and other US states.
