Get the list of books and let the kids know they are banned. That should do the trick. 👍

yes Texas and Florida are vying for leader of the new dark ages America.

I'm glad kids have computers in their pockets. They can just read the books there. We should crowdfund to buy them for them.

grumpyrootbeer.bsky.social•91 days ago

It's all the evidence you need that these bans aren't actually motivated by any genuine desire to protect kids, just the desire to flex petty authoritarian power, undermine public goods, and annoy liberals.

I think NY library was offering library cards to out of state people so they can access digital books.

I'm so glad I moved out of that POS state, and Houston, 4 years ago. It's getting worse and worse.

Wicked? Is it because of the lovely Black lady in the movie, or are they afraid that people will learn to peek behind the curtain?

Under his eye

evanstarr.bsky.social•91 days ago

this makes no sense unless you want authoritarianism.

sarcasticdad.bsky.social•91 days ago

The people who ban books have never been on the right side of history.

If you can prove to me that you are a student in this district and want to read Slaughterhouse Five. Just let me know. Happy to send a copy.

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

Banning Slaughterhouse-Five... Cool cool cool

Can't have kids pondering on the horrors of war, I guess?

captmorgan.bsky.social•91 days ago

So scared of their own thoughts they can’t handle anyone else’s

jjdianem.bsky.social•91 days ago

Shameful.

cheribuss.bsky.social•91 days ago

TX ISDs have been waiting 4 yrs to go crazy banning books. They’ve been slowly doing it ever since Dan the Christian nationalist Patrick became Tx Lt Gov. Now since white Christian nationalists have taken stronger hold in the state they have permission structure to go nuts. Happening everywhere now

I wonder when they're going to ban "Fahrenheit 451"...(although it's not for lack of trying https://bannedbooks.library.cmu.edu/ray-bradburys-fahrenheit-451/ )

daven50.bsky.social•91 days ago

The far right again tries to tell people what to read and what to think. Disgraceful.

Can we send Mike Miles to Katy, maybe he would feel more at home there.

allmykidshavepaws.bsky.social•91 days ago

Sad & pathetic & hurt kids! Way to go Katy!

mackeylee55.bsky.social•91 days ago

Look at this guy. He looks like a know it all, ass.

arguingwassholes.bsky.social•91 days ago

Sounds like Katy ISD is led by Maga snowflakes.

ironfrontcharlie.bsky.social•91 days ago

Putting a muzzle on the intelligent is part of the plan.

zootius.bsky.social•91 days ago

Think you can ban critical thinking, good luck with that

notinspring.bsky.social•91 days ago

soon to happen, Katy ISD students each morning will pledge allegiance to Donald Drumpf and declare him the divine savior of our planet and owner of their souls.

akjackson.bsky.social•91 days ago

So glad I don't live in Katy.

ty406.bsky.social•91 days ago

Me seeing my old school district in the news (again): is it something good?

The universe: absolutely not.

drills4oil.bsky.social•91 days ago

Why are we still fighting book bans! The people banning books are never the good guys. Slaughter House 5????WTF

bberts.bsky.social•91 days ago

That's definitely the man I want to choose my reading lists... said no one ever

sunflower7777.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wow! I'm currently reading Wicked and this is sickening.

sldet.bsky.social•91 days ago

What do you think of the book? I read it when it first came out and was surprised at some of it but I wouldn't call for it to be banned at high schools.
