Book banners voted out at the Lake Travis School District


?s=20


@Taniel
RESULT. The Lake Travis school district in the Austin area become a focal point for book bans (see this story from 2024: https://kut.org/education/2024-03-28/lake-travis-school-book-ban-library-austin-texas)

Two conservatives school board members who were integral to that push just lost their reelection bids tonight, and are ousted.

I must be in the minority here, I suppose. Books about making ghost guns, and those promoting white supremacy, for example, don't belong in school libraries.
