Fighting extremism in the schools
Keller ISD parent pledges to fight back after school board bans more books TAMMYE NASH | Managing Editornash@dallasvoice.com Trustees in the Keller Independent School District, located in Tarrant County, just north of Fort Worth, voted Monday, Nov.
14, to ban from school libraries any book discussing gender fluidity. It was just the latest book-banning vote by the board, which is dominated by far right-wing trustees elected just last spring after campaigning on a promise to get pornography out of the schools.
The vote in Keller came the same night that the Frisco ISD board unanimously passed a new policy requiring students to use restrooms at school aligning with their “biological sex,” or gender assigned at birth.
The new policy does not keep the district from providing reasonable accommodations, such as a private bathroom, upon request.
