Some books included on the list were the Bible, an illustrated version of The Diary of Anne Frank, and \u201cdozens of other books that were challenged by parents last year,\u201d per The Jerusalem Post\u2019s reporting. They also obtained a copy of the email that was sent directing the book purge for the school district. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the end of today, I need all books pulled from the library and classrooms,\u201d wrote Jennifer Price, the executive director of curriculum and instruction for Keller ISD. This is one of many lists calling for book removals to appease the conservative activist parents and school board members. Most challenge the books on the grounds of them being LGBTQ+ friendly and their supposed connections to \u201ccritical race theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not all Keller ISD parents approve of the book bans. \u201cIt\u2019s disgusting. It\u2019s devastating. It\u2019s legitimate book banning, there\u2019s no way around it,\u201d Laney Hawes, a parent of four children in Keller ISD, told reporters. \u201cI feel bad for the teachers and the librarians.\u201d Other books most likely being taken off the shelves are Toni Morrison\u2019s \u201cThe Bluest Eye,\u201d Alison Bechdel\u2019s \u201cFun Home,\u201d and Jon Ronson\u2019s \u201cSo You\u2019ve Been Publicly Shamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis group of people elected to our board, and the crazy parents behind them, decided that the committees must be rigged,\u201d Hawes continued as she described the parents who would attend school board meetings claiming \u201cconspiracies to take over our public schools,\u201d wearing shirts reading \u201cAlex Jones Was Right.\u201d Anyone who gives an opinion related to education standards while wearing an Alex Jones shirt should automatically cancel out any opinion they loudly state.<\/p>\n<p>The school district said in a statement to one news outlet, \u201cRight now, Keller ISD\u2019s administration is asking our campus staff and librarians to review books that were challenged last year to determine if they meet the requirements of the new policy\u2026Books that meet the new guidelines will be returned to the libraries as soon as it is confirmed they comply with the new policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keller ISD may sound familiar, and that\u2019s because it is. In 2021 the Keller ISD was the subject of an investigation by the Texas Education Agency. It was during this time which current Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott falsely alleged the district was making \u201csexually explicit\u201d books available to students.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher It\u2019s back-to-school season which means every news headline for the next few weeks on Fox News will be some parent complaining about their child learning historical facts while saying \u201cwoke\u201d in every sentence.
