My Texas hometown privatized the public library and is having the local police review books, so, yeah. Yeah.
When I was growing up in Texas, they were happy if kids read.
On the brighter side, nothing is more attractive to young people than something that is forbidden by the authorities. For example, first age of sexual experience and teen pregnancies increase when they do "abstinence education."
This will do more to boost literacy among young people in Texas than the curricula being proposed by the State school board.
