State Rep. Jared Patterson calls his bill the READER Act. Nonsense. It’s clearly a book ban.
Patterson warned potential readers about sexually explicit content. Then, he condemned the book “The book is written for teenagers and young adults, so it’s unlikely it was in elementary school libraries.
School boys and girls are exposed to so much more outside of books. The internet and music offer no shortage of images and descriptions of sexual acts. So, hopefully, those parents and lawmakers clutching their pearls over library books will make time and expend the energy to monitor their children’s phone and computer usage.
Frisco ISD Associate Deputy Superintendent Wes Cunningham, who said he supports the bill, was offended by Patterson’s criticism of the school district not doing enough to censor books.
