Fort Worth ISD shuts down libraries to review books
SUMMARY: Fort Worth Independent School District in Texas has faced controversy after removing three books from school libraries due to explicit sexual and violent content. Since then, over 100 other books are being reviewed for potential removal. One of the books, titled “Gender Queer,” contains graphic images deemed too explicit for TV and was displayed in elementary and middle school libraries. Concerned parents have spoken out at board meetings, prompting the district to make changes and review their process. The district is now looking to hire a permanent director of library media services to handle book selection and ensure appropriate content.
The Fort Worth Independent School District says it has closed all school libraries just days after the start of the new year. A handful of books were taken off the shelves over the summer because of some sexual and violent content. FOX 4's Paige Ellenberger reports on what the district is doing now. #FortWorthISD #library #books
