I'm glad he cares about the wellbeing of his constituents. I just wish he considered all Texans to be his constituents.
Time for him to move to Russia!
DOUCHEBAG
Fortunately, Texas students can read any book online irrespective of the fascists
So wait is it feelings don't care about your facts or facts don't care about your feelings
I wish we could have classes on how to get along with other people regardless of their choices, race, sex and so on
How about the silliness of Adam and Eve and Jesus?
The state where even 2-year olds open carry is upset that their kids might read the truth or something controversial is absolutely astounding.
The GOP represents quite literally every dystopian villain I read about as a child.
The ones with pee pees and wee wees in them? Is that what you want? Maybe it is Seinfeld you and your good time buddies!! Fucking Texas.
Texas is making Florida look sane.
Sounds pretty woke
I get psychological distress reading about Texas politics. Let’s ban it.
What the fuck
These are the worst people.
Just another politician trying to gain voters by doing something that is sure to cause a media stir and get people talking/arguing.
When you try to ban or censor books, it will make them more popular than ever!
Why are conservatives so scared of every single thing?
The blatant bigotry of this list is disgusting. For most of the titles, you can see it isn’t violence or prejudice that put them on the list, but inclusion. The inclusion of LGBTQA people, pregnant teens, and racial minorities.
Who are these aliens? What happened to the humans in Texas?
So the students in Texas cannot handle a wide range of subjects? This lawmaker is making judgements about what the students can and cannot handle!! Maybe, he should check with the students!! These are all topics that are relevant and being discussed by students!!
Texas is this close to Women in Red robes and white wimple Shameful
I love it when stuff like this comes from the Party of “Liberals are Snowflakes”.
from the side that was complaining about Dr Seuss being cancelled
Those schools should just say no. Tell that Nazi prick you won’t cooperate. None of these people have power when you refuse to give it to them. If he wants those books gone, make him do it himself. Don’t help him. Don’t comply. Stop making this easy for them.
Holy smokes. What's next in GOP Texas? Whippings in the public square?
Fascism has a new face: concern.
This is so embarrassing. The entire point of literature and history is to make people feel discomfort, relevance, curiosity, etc. let’s just keep dumbing down the population.
Math books cause more discomfort and psychological distress than any other book on this list.
You know what causes psychological distress in schools? Children having do active shooter drills because our government is more concerned with changing policies regarding BOOKS, than changing policies to keep our children safe.
Aren't these the same people who were freaking out about safe spaces on college campuses?
FFS Texas 🤦🏻♂️
Churches make people feel guilt all the time for just trying to be themselves so should we ban them?
Bullies in my circles are fragile bundles of vulnerability quick to project their own insecurities elsewhere. I sure can't say these snowiest, flakiest snowflakes can't 'dish it out.' Bravo little Matt! May I suggest holding your breath & wet your pants if you don't get your way?
I can't believe this
This guy makes me feel uncomfortable. Can he be removed please?
The Old Testament is full of passages that cause discomfort in the way it describes women and people who “sinned.”
This guy gives me discomfort and psychological distress
GOP in 2020s is sounding a lot like Nazis in 1930s 🤔
The fuck your feelings crowd seems to be afraid of books.
you can always ask for what you want but does he have any authority to compel schools to waste their time looking this up?
The Republibans!
How does he have the power to harass the schools, students, administration and department of education?
As Nancy Reagan once taught me: Just Say No!
I'd like to report my daughter's math book.
Somehow this gentleman was failed by education and parents if this is what motivates him to action. The sheer number of books indicates breath of insanity. History is uncomfortable and needs to be taught, understood, and put in perspective. Don’t ban books, guide students.
Great!!! He just put together my next exhaustive reading list!
I wonder who else did this, historically.
GQP Cancel Culture.
“They don’t gotta burn tha books they just remove ‘em”
Good God…For a state that wants LESS government interference… they are trampling women’s rights, voters rights and now free speech in general.
I guess that this is the next step?🤨
We have seen this horror show before. The promise of protection from bad thoughts is how book and witch burning begins.
I thought the GOP was against 'cancel culture.' Oh yeah, I forgot - they are just against 'canceling' things they like. They are fine with 'canceling' things they don't like.
Yes Texas, keep the kids stupid. Read about how wonderful slavery was (no one was hurt). Read about how wonderful the German's were to the Jews (holocaust didn't happen). These are dangerous people doing bad things to kids who need education.
Thank you Mr. Krause, but where can I see your complete list? The books you're afraid of will make great Christmas presents for the kids. If a MAGA lashes out at something, chances are it teaches important lessons and imparts American values.
This is totally ridiculous
Cancel culture at its peak
Heinrich Heine would like a word...
This could turn into Fahrenheit 451 real quick
Has he read the history of Hitler?
So books that might make them think. Can't have that.
The Art of the Deal is about screwing people...
So let me get this straight the people afraid of a vaccination want to ban books and yet they call the present administration Nazis? Okay that makes sense. Call for making abortion illegal, yet want to keep our freedoms intact? Do they not trust themselves to do right without law
Burkas are next Texas women. You lost control of your vaginas now banning books to keep the sheep stupid.Burkas and staying home are next. That is some radical GOP yit going on.
I would like to report that Matt Krause makes me feel psychological distress. censorship Texas
Wait until someone explains to RepMattKrause how many of these works of 'psychological distress' have been made into movies.😂😂😂 He's going to need a bigger boat, bless his heart.
Up next….TX book burnings
'A GOP lawmaker who is asking schools to report if they have any of the 850 books he identified that deal with sexuality, racism, abortion and U.S. history that he says 'might make students feel distress' fails to consider that his parenting style may be at the root of distress.'
Nazi has surfaced in the USA…. This needs to be dealt with on a federal basis
The teaching/preaching of religion makes me feel discomfort, guilt and psychological distress.
I just looked at my calendar... are we in a time loop? Is it 1984?
Where have we seen the systematic use of oppression to fool people into believing in an autocracy before? 🤔
I’d tell him to F*CKOFF 🤬. Then I’d tell him the Bible makes me uncomfortable so please remove all of versions of them. And any reference to organized religions (cults) that indoctrinate kids
And so it begins
I see he got his law degree from Liberty University. Shocker.
This sort of agenda is fucking stupid. Books are meant to enlighten, educate, and most of all, challenge people to think critically and see different viewpoints about the world. Clearly he only wants books to conform to his worldview which is probably non-existent. Read a book.
Plenty of disturbing tales in the Bible. Is that one of the 850 books?
Oddly, Mein Kampf is not on the list
Did this guy read all 850 books to determine the level of distress students might feel? Were any students questioned about their distress levels? This is such crap.🤪
Think it might be the mass shooter drills bringing them psychological stress idk
How many times does this country have to go through this Christo-fascist bullshit
Who knew Texans were so sensitive?
Is this a prequel to Fahrenheit 451?
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”
Republicans love to use culture war malarkey as a red cape to keep voters from charging at issues like wealth disparity, social injustice and climate change.
GOP Texas lawmaker, Matt Krause, is that the name of the mechanical dog that sniffs out illegal books in Fahrenheit 451 ?
He forgot to say the ‘wh.ite’ students.
“An analysis of Krause’s list by The Dallas Morning News found that of the first 100 titles listed, 97 were written by women, people of color or LGBTQ authors.”
I'VE HEARD THAT THE ACCOMMODATIONS AT THE RIKERS ISLAND PRISON ARE VERY NICE AND THEY EVEN HAVE, VERY LUXURIOUS, PADDED ROOMS WITH VIEWS OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, FOR EXPRESIDENTS HIS FAMILY, Q-ANON NUT JOBS & GOVERNORS WHO HAVE COMMITED MURDER DUE TO SELF-INDUCED IGNORANCE ‼️
Make sure they don't learn, Texas!
They also may make students think.
I’m old enough to remember when certain people thought it was ridiculous to take To Kill A Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn out of the curriculum
Ahh yes…the party of “less government”.
These will be the future kids that are afraid of everything and will live in their parents basements!
Isn’t this the same party that made fun of university students and safe spaces?
The Bible and it’s stories of incest, pedophilia makes kids uncomfortable and fearful, should we abolish that too?
What causes more 'discomfort' is bullying, but sure we are all scarred from reading a book in school. How idiotic.
More GOP divisive fear mongering - they have the MAGA cult by the nose. This will end badly. VoteBlue2022
I had a hard time with chemistry and now all these people I meet on Tinder want me to be proficient at it. Can you please burn all the chemistry books? They trigger me.
What about the psychological stress to Black children whose very Blackness is being cancelled with all of this bullshit?
Schools should instead be reporting whether the Texas GOP legislature might make students feel discomfort or psychological distress.
Sounds like he’s looking to create… a safe space
WhiteWashing history and education is nothing new in the United States. They tell the story how they want it to be understood in order to program society the way they want the programmed.
We’re a semester away from high school textbooks teaching the violent insurrection on January 6th, 2020, was merely a patriotic Comic-Con with peaceful, cosplaying tourists.
The true snowflakes are afraid of the truth, words, and how it will affect America's youth
Into banning books again--fascism at its finest
