DALLAS — The majority of Texans want a “content rating” – similar to what’s used for movies – on books sold to public schools to help establish what is appropriate for children, according to a new poll from the University of Houston.
Fights over library books erupted in late 2021 and continue to gain steam. Conservatives express outrage at the idea that books with sexual content were available in schools while free-speech advocates worry that limits on books could restrict children’s access to diverse stories.
Texans are mostly open to a rating idea.
