Description

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth March 1, 2022 Civil rights leaders are demanding officials with the Granbury Independent School District put back hundreds of books that were removed from school library shelves. In January, the district pulled some 130 books for review — claiming they were sexually explicit. The move came as GOP-led challenges to students' access to books, which some say are mostly about sexual orientation and racial identity, continue. On February 25 administrators with the district announced they had returned more than 100 of those books. Only one was completely removed and 25 others are still out pending review.
