Texas Progressives talks book bans, art and related

The Roundup got so big I split it into two. 

Leander ISD, reportedly a bastion of strength on non-nutter school boards and districts, has yanked "To Kill A Mockingbird," Frederick Douglass' memoir and other books from school library shelves. Why? Per the Anger and Clarity link, it's NOT SB 13, which specifically targeted school libraries; it's the "anti-DEI" SB 12. 

Sadly, the school district used AI to determine what was "DEI." What? Do school district leaders no longer read books themselves?

Pivoting back to SB 13, maybe the parents' library committees will use AI like this as well.
