Ha Ha, let me guess, they are going to read a list, but not actually read the books!
Maybe he’s trying to prove that Republicans can read?
Texas is the American Taliban. And we fought against them because we saw them as barbarians.
Hey hypocrites aka racist republicans here are two books to add to the libraries and make sure you read them!
This is awful
1 - Targeting works that 'might make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex or convey that a student, by virtue of their race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or
Because books are the real problem in schools.
Will schools keep students from life? That does cause psychological distress at times. The whole point of those books in an academic setting is getting to talk about psychological distress.
That's Abbott . 📢 For the love of all things..... VOTE HIM OUT TEXAS IF YOU ARE BLUE VOTE YOUR BLUE CHOICE AGAINST HIM ! Texas 💙🌊📢👍😃
Weird
Better throw out them bullshit trigonometry books
❄️ behavior
Oh Great. More Fahrenheit 451 fodder.
First abortion, then voting laws, now they’re after the books next it will be goose stepping in cowboy hats and tiki torches. Abbot and his ilk are an embarrassment.
This is gross and a demonstration of ignorance.
Just like the Nazis did in the 1930s. If people weren’t so ignorant about history, maybe they’d see this.
No one can say which books a person can read. This is (supposed to be) America.
Sounds super snowflake to me
Ah yes the great small government book burning
Make them read all 400 books before removing them from school districts. Cover to cover.
Just like they did with the BIBULL.
Boy that is a lot of reading I learn a lot in the back sit of the car and driving around in the hood
Alternate headline: “Nazi Wannabes Fear Literacy and Empathy Cause Psychological Distress” FFS, America. VoteThemOut
Any book burning planned?
Be better Texas!! Children need to know the truth!! honestymatters 2021facts knowledgeispower
Way to go Texas. 🙄😡
Are they reviewing The Bible, and Shakespeare's catalog? Cause if you don't want kids reading anything offensive, I got news for you.
When they are finished we all will be saying, 'Heil ...' Never could have imagined that this would happen in America no matter how much I have criticized this country for its treatment of 'minorities.'
Sounds as if GOP/GQP in TX & elsewhere want 'inconvenient truths' or 'uncomfortable topics' to go back into a very large Republican closet. Out of sight, out of mind. Consider it the James & Jennifer Crumbley model of dealing with issues.
If a book is worth burning, it's worth reading.
Fash.
Absolutely disgraceful NEISD
About time!
They can start with the Bible.
They why don’t they also ban the showing of nearly every movie in the state? I am sure every one inflicts some kind of stress onnsomeone.
It's just a right wing version of 'trigger warnings' - just no. Stop that insanity.
The “nothing my kid learns should make me feel icky” initiative.
Who's the snowflake now?! Checkmate libs
Wouldn't want Junior to get upset when someone tells him that beating up the queer kids in his class is a Bad Thing.
Presented to the GOP:
How is this not exactly the cancel culture they hate so much
who in the GOP has read 400 books ever?
Instead of banning books, how about tackling your poor standing in public education outcomes, your power grid, your unsolved rapes, and your war on women and immigrants? Texas needs to have more books abailable to read, not fewer.
The Bible would be the first in line to be thrown out then.
Living in Texas will make you feel that way!!
The most snowflake article title I have ever seen. Y'all are more offended by books than actual school shootings?
Kids get psychological distress from the internet and their parents’ hypocrisy.
So that is more stressful than the potential of being murdered in their school?
What's the matter don't they have any intellectuals in Texas?
What's a library?
...and there it is.
This isn’ Gutenberg press era anymore, you lawmakers folks heard what we call internet these days? Books come now in tablets, iPad, kindle i books and the library is my bedroom haha
Putting certain books in parents permission only areas and letting parents monitor what books their kids are checking out bans those books for kids with bigoted parents in all but name.
Maybe I’m weird, but if a kid wants to read a book, they should read a book. No matter if parents don’t like it. No matter if it’s over their reading level.
Wait.... are they cancelling books because some folks are snowflakes? Or does cancel culture not apply to conservatives?
'cause the internet doesn't exist.
Maybe ANYONE being able to get a gun and walk around with it might be causing “psychological distress.”
Where the F% has this place gone!?
Sooooo…… Texas kids actually go to the library rather than look at YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram,etc. Yep. You go Texas. That’s the way to do it.
Banning books.. next its brown shirts protection from poor people...
Is the Bible included? Because that thing distressed the shit out of me.
Hey GOP - you know what makes students feel “psychological distress”? The possibility of being shot and killed in school. 6th graders know this as their reality - and the generation of kids who have done active shooter drills for their entire school experience are voting age now
Gotta make sure the kids have really good books to read when they are on lockdown during school shootings.
So is this 'fuck your feelings' crowd who are always complaining about how liberals are fragile snowflakes trying to cancel things they don'tike?
Talk about cancel culture. This is more and more like having our very own Taliban
So, they don't want students to deliberate complicated social issues because they'll have to think too hard about uncomfortable topics? Am I reading this right /rhetorical question
They should start with Bible and other books about any religion, they all cause “psychological distress “ in children as well as adults.
OMG how out of touch these lawmakers are...
The poor grammar and punctuation in Krause’s list is reason enough to know that he’s on a political crusade. This list covers his agenda on defending white supremacy/privilege, anti-LGTBQ+, women’s right, sex ed, and other extremely predictable choices.
MOST SCHOOLS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE GETTING RID OF 'WHITE WASHED HISTORY BOOKS'. TEACH KIDS THE TRUTH. FIRST AFRICAN EMPIRES AND ALL EMPIRES EGYPT/ ROME/ AZTEC etc. ENSLAVED OTHERS AND COMMITED GENOCIDE. TEACH KIDS THE PAST, THEN WE LEARN. THEN THE RACISM BULL WILL DECREASE.
Wait until they find out about the internet.
What they really want...
Nothing better to do in TX? Maybe fix the power grid for the winter?
Can they really read?!
If the Texas Taliban doesn't like anything, they ban it. So much for freedom. They really don't have the moral right to do this, they only have the the power. They should be working on their power grid.
wusses
pretty sure students being shot while being in school is a significant source of “psychological distress”
Eye of the beholder. All or none.
