Less than a week after a local Tennessee school board attracted national attention for banning a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, Gov. Bill Lee went public with a push for more scrutiny of school libraries so students consume “age appropriate” content.
“We are proposing a new law that will ensure parents know what materials are available to students in their libraries," Lee said during his annual address to the Republican-controlled Legislature "This law will also create greater accountability at the local level so parents are empowered to make sure content is age-appropriate.”
