Texas county debates library ban on sex ed books
200 people attended a public meeting in Montgomery County, Texas, to debate a proposed public library ban on two sex education books: It's Perfectly Normal and It's So Amazing, both by Robie H. Harris. The local taliban want the books removed because of Harris's so-called "pro-homosexual stance." The Houston Chronicle reports, "Most of the speakers -- many of them members of the Republican Leadership Council, the Christian Coalition of Montgomery County and area Christian churches -- called for [library director Jerilynn] Williams to be fired, for the creation of a citizen review panel and for the county's withdrawal from the American Library Association. Some even attacked the county's $10 million bond proposal, scheduled for a November election, to build three libraries. They said the money would help to purchase unwanted books."
