DALLAS — The U.S. Department of Education opened a civil rights investigation into Granbury ISD, a North Texas district where officials removed books with LGBTQ themes.
NBC News reported Tuesday that the department’s Office for Civil Rights notified Granbury school officials earlier this month that it began a probe into administrators’ actions. It came after the ACLU of Texas alleged that the district violated federal anti-discrimination law.
NBC News, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune previously reported on a secret recording of Granbury superintendent Jeremy Glenn in which he told librarians to remove books related to LGBTQ issues.
