During a board meeting, parents and students condemned and applauded the district for removing books that are considered pornographic. So where do they go from here?
KATY, Texas -- A group of Katy ISD students and parents addressed the school board meeting Monday evening regarding their concerns about"censorship and intellectual freedom."
"This concerning wave of censorship has malicious intent to uphold the status quo that keeps queer students and BIPOC students struggling each and every day," said Seven Lakes High School senior Cameron Samuels."Censorship is not a legacy to create." "Taxpayers should not be funding accessibility to porn for our students in the school library. It has nothing to do with LGBTQ," said Claudia Turcott a Katy ISD mom.
Cameron Samuels and Maghan Sadeghi were two of the students who spent a week distributing 400 copies of approximately 32 book titles during"FReadom Week" at Seven Lakes, Jordan, Taylor, and Tompkins high schools.
