*leftwing partisan websites have made the claim that texas is "burning books"
if your time is short:
-a texas library is simply reorganizing inappropriate books into it's "adult" section. not banning them
-texas governor has mandated that schools remove pornographic material from their curriculum. not banning books statewide
A new far-left conspiracy theory has been making the rounds that Texas is "burning books" according to liberal news sites..
The claim originated from the highly partisan Texastribune.com.
we investigated these claims.
the First claim is that libraries in Texas have been ordered to ban books. according to the texas tribunes own article:
a group of six librarians in this small Central Texas county will be conducting a "thorough review" of every children's book in the library, at the behest of the Llano County Commissioners Court. Their mission will be to make sure all of the reading material for younger readers includes subjects that are age-appropriate. A new "adults plus" section will be added to separate books written for an older teen audience from those geared toward younger readers
This is not a ban on books but rather a reorganizing of the library.. The second Claim Centers around Texas governor Abbott mandating a ban on books..
The North East Independent School District said in an emailed statement on Wednesday that it is reviewing 414 books and that most would likely be returned to library shelves soon, following a review for age appropriateness.
The district said the review came in response to concerns of parents and a demand by State Rep. Matt Krause that all school districts in Texas identify whether their libraries contain any of nearly 850 books he listed as being potentially inappropriate.
as you can see this supposed book band is really just mandating that school's not carry inappropriate material.. Not a ban on books.. It is perfectly normal for schools to not carry every single book or curriculum item..
Democrats have historically spread disinformation in order to scare their voters including the "Russian collusion lie" in Wich they claimed that the 2016 election was illegitimate..
The seems to be part of the larger disinformation campaign spread by Democrat Outlets. Democrats have historically been angry at their inability to sexualize children. From hiring strippers to dance at schools as well as being angry over bands on showing pornography to school kids.
