Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is asking the state's association of school boards to review and remove any books with 'pornography or other inappropriate content' in the state's school libraries. He did not cite specific examples.

Look at all the progressives shit their pants....same progressives have not problem deleting Republican 'books'.

So, does that mean that GregAbbott_TX is going to remove the Bible? The Bible literally contains several incidents that could be considered “pornographic” and “inappropriate”. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

Hey Ab-butt!

Ah yes, I remember my school days when I majored in pornography…

Abbott needs to be censored.

Im allfor banning the Bible for anybody under 18 ....looks like me and the governor agree on something.....guessing hell froze over

These guys are trying to make America a mixture of Idiocracy and The Handmaid’s Tale.

I bet Abbott is trying to figure out a way to classify civil rights as pornography.

But a book that has *literally* inspired murders, rapes, war crimes and genocide is protected as 'religious' and not mentioned for this list? Right.

The Bible

Texas what a joke

why not have 1 week courses at age 12 job entry skills skip the 19th century 12 - 16 yrs of pagan torture

Next we’re only gonna be allowed to dance 💃🏼 outside the city limits!! FML GregAbbott_TX TurnTexasBlue

Corpses that don’t understand the modern day need to be tossed out.

I suppose he's going to burn books next. What an uninformed man. People, wake up!

Handmaiden’s Tale? Cider House Rules? Middlesex? Supreme Court case and civil rights books? Dear Lord. Read the list in the article. Read it.

Check Abbott’s computer and iPhone too!

There go the National Geographics...

This is the epitome of the Republican Party. Making their supporters see a problem where there is none.

Oh god he gets to decide what books people can read! Wow! Why the hell does he care? Just after implementing the strictest voter suppression. How can you support this guy?

Bible should be on the list

Like school librarians have the budget for porn. Ish.

Will he ban the Scarlet Letter or is that okay? Keep the ladies in line.

Start with the Bible.

The scary 'cancel culture' at full strike?

Again the Texas Governor uses words intended to inflame but no details or definitions to allow actual enforcement. What is pornography in his mine? What is “other inappropriate content”? How are they defined … or is he just looking to throw meat on the floor to see who bites?

Yes, how dare kids be exposed to sex in books! Oh the horror! Oh the cruelty!

Then they better take the Bible out of there

Whoa! Kids are reading books in Texas? He's click baiting kids to get them in the library. Oh, if he were only so slick.

oh no, wherever will the children find free pornography if not the school library

Has there ever been a Texas governor to waste more time on ridiculous bullshit than Greg Abbott?

High schoolers everywhere: “Free porn? That’s a travesty! Where is it? So I know where not to go…”

When did they start allowing porn in school libraries? Not where I grew up. I guess Texas is different.

Texas and the Taliban have so much in common 🤦‍♂️

Perhaps bring the Constitution for Abbott to read. Never mind! He may find that to also be objectionable.

Whatever Abbott says is inappropriate, is inappropriate. Got it?

murica underhiseye

My IQ just slapped me upside the head for reading the lead in to that story. I cannot go any further.

Texas is the largest purchaser of textbooks. They have influenced text book content in the past. Guess book banning is the next step.

Better round up every kids smart phone and computer too cause I can guarantee the school library is the last place kids are looking for porn.

is texas living in the middle ages? are they going to gather all the woman in texas next and accused them of being witches? oh my bad, that's just for women who are seeking abortions over 6 weeks pregnant. mixing up my 'women' atrocities.

His wife is getting dicked down for sure.

School librarians in Texas don't have the budgets for anything that didn't get a glowing review from School Library Journal. C'mon. 🙄

Getting pretty sick of these fascists.

🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Has Abbott ever been in a school library? They are not repositories of pornography and books inappropriate in content for students.

I know another party in recent history that burned all the books...

Judy Blume’s like Gov. you’re a few decades late to jump on this band wagon

They don’t need to burn the books they just remove them! Rage Against The Machine said it best years ago.

And let bozos from other states come looking for it and sue Texas school districts. You’re on a roll, Gregory.

You mean they move been showing porn this whole time? Lol

Is banning dancing next?

Funny...the most stolen book from the libraries is the anarchists cookbook..

Go Texas!

What’s next no dancing footloose

But not Dr Seuss!

Why would they need that in school anyway when the kids can get it right off of their phones?

We are not just going backwards, we have slammed it into reverse and gunned the engine.

What next book burning?

I thought the GOP was against cancel culture.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesDo the math! If you can ! Watts being used today vs watts needed. Renewables, today, can’t muster. R&D $ instead of 84 car promenades for ego’s is needed! If we can export oil, why are we paying so much for it here at home? So again, who is really profiting from all of this? I’d let you take a stab at it but no, it’s the Democrats again. Nothing ever changes, now does it? Lots of talk, not much change, CO2 keeps climbing. :(

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesIt’s ok. Western lives are more important, and they can’t be asked to change their habits or lifestyle. It’s her fault anyway. Why can’t they just lift Bangladesh above the sea level? Living on a coastline has always been fraught with risk. My entire life of many decades Bangladesh’s political and environmental issues have produced devastating consequences for people who have not relocated to habitable, amenable locales. The why of that is disturbing.
