Many of the books on the list were written by women, people of color and LGBTQ writers and cover topics including teen pregnancy and abortion
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has joined a conservative Republican lawmaker’s campaign to investigate books that cover race, gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools.
Critical race theory — an academic way of thinking about America's history through the lens of racism —, the Fort Worth Republican also demanded that school districts report any other books that could cause students “guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex or convey that a student, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.
In a letter dated Monday, Abbott warned the head of the Texas Association of School Boards that parents are worried that schools are exposing students to “pornography or other inappropriate content," even though the group has no role in approving what students read or study.
