      Dropping that its a suburb of houston certainly sounds ill-advised. We have several but if they put their minds to it I’m sure they’d figure it out inside of a few days. They love to spend (waste) energy on Very Important^tm shit like this

        If it’s a Houston suburb there are 100% a large number of little chudlets and psychotic evangelical Christians that frequent this classroom. One of them will turn the teacher in. The shelf will disappear, a great teacher will be fired, and the books will be destroyed all because some dumbass liberal without two brain cells to rub together couldn’t resist the allure of running a 3 minute spot on NPR that will be immediately forgotten

    The secret bookshelf began in late 2021, when then-state representative Matt Krause sent public schools a list of 850 books he wanted banned from schools. They might, he said, “make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or sex.”

    I’m going to assume the race and sex he’s worried about being distressed is white men.
