Proposing this amendment
...
I'd appreciate the inclusion of an advocacy statement in the future, otherwise the Senate has no reason to approve such an amendment. The section you propose striking from the bill forbids school districts from banning books out of doctrinal disapproval. Do you favor book bans for such reasons?
Nay on the amendment.
How do you define “doctrinal disapproval” . For example I doubt school districts would allow books that contain Nazi propaganda to be in their libraries for obvious reasons
Under this law, a school district would be prohibited from removing library materials due to factors such as the author's political or religious views, their sexual orientation, race or nationality (else risk federal funding). Activist organizations or partisan school board members will not be allowed to demand content be pulled from shelves due to, for example, depictions of historical prejudice. This is intended to preserve libraries as an unbiased source of information.
