AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Senate passed a proposal Thursday that would require schools to inform parents of all books their children check out of campus libraries.
The bill from GOP Sen. Angela Paxton is among the latest proposed laws from Republicans as conservative lawmakers say they want to give parents more power over what kids learn in public schools.
The proposal formalizes a process for parents to have books removed from a school while also placing district trustees in the driver seat for determining what books line campus library shelves.
