GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called on the state's school boards to remove books he described as 'pornography,' a move that comes after at least two state lawmakers have asked officials to investigate books in schools.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, called on the state's school boards to remove books he described as"pornography," a move that comes after at least two state lawmakers have asked officials to investigate books in schools.
Abbot's letter, sent to the Texas Association of School Boards on Monday, did not cite a specific book that contains what he described as"pornography." Last week, Texas Republican lawmaker, Jeff Cason, released a statement calling on the state's Attorney General to investigate books he also described as"pornography." In his statement, he singled out the graphic novel"Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe.
