Texas school district backtracks on removing Bibles to meet new law on ‘sexually explicit’ materials: ‘Wrong and likely illegal’

The district said it’s initial decision followed “a thorough review of its library contents to adhere to the updated state guidelines, aiming to maintain an inclusive and legally compliant educational environment.” 

“Perhaps you disagree with our fight against radically explicit content in public schools like Canyon ISD. Not only is your interpretation of HB 900 completely wrong, but your decision to ban the Bible was likely illegal.”

Canyon Independent School District sparked outrage earlier this month after revealing it would strip the religious text to comply with a state law banning books with “sexually explicit” materials.

A Texas school district that removed the Bible over a new law banning “sexually explicit” material has now backtracked — after being told it was both wrong and “likely illegal” to strip it from library shelves.
