Texas School District Removes 676 Books After Conservative Group's Demand

Books covering Holocaust, antisemitism, and other sensitive topics are among those banned in a rapid decision by the district superintendent.

  • Superintendent Carol Perez agreed to the removal within minutes of receiving the demand.
  • Books removed include 'Anne Frank's Diary,' 'Maus,' 'The Fixer,' and 'Kasher in the Rye.'
  • The decision was influenced by local conservative activists and endorsed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
  • Perez was later placed on administrative leave and separated from the district.
  • The book removal reflects a broader national trend of culture war-fueled censorship in schools.
