Some agreements between public schools and local libraries would be blocked under a bill approved by Education Committee in the Iowa House.
Library bookmobiles would be barred from school property and the bill prohibits schools from letting students use school IDs to access books and other materials from public libraries. During a subcommittee hearing, Katherine Bogaards with a group called Protect My Innocence said the bill is needed to stop Iowa schools from going around a state law that bans school libraries from having books with sexually explicit content.
It closes the loopholes and ensures schools remain accountable to parents, accountable to the taxpayer, transparent to the public, and compliant with the law, she said.
Republican Representative Brooke Boden of Indianola said the bill reinforces the 2023 law she and other legislators passed after learning kids and teens were able to check out books with graphic sexual content from some school libraries. Reading is so important, but we also dont want our kids reading literature that theyre going to need counseling for for the rest of their lives either, Boden said during last nights House Education Committee meeting.

These groups want to control the morals of other peoples' children,
and use the power of big gov't to force their religious practices on the children rather than allow the parents to raise their own children according to their own religious beliefs.

(8,681 posts)I guess they would not want this newly published book:
"To Catch A Fascist - The fight to expose the radical right"
I can't wait to read it! This guy went undercover with radical right organizations. He collected all their info and names and has been revealing them. His actions and others, are flushing out these Nazis.
He is antifa activist. Brave man!

(2,312 posts)from reading books throughout my youth. No amount of therapy is ever going to get those images out of my head. Aaaahhhh, one fish, two fish, green eggs, and ham.
Don't get me started on Aesop's Fables. Or those very detailed illustrations in comic books. Sear's catalog is gone but they still have National geographic.
Dumb ass religious right. More like religious wrong.
