Following the May 3 election results, Katy ISD students and community members are asking school board members to repeal the Houston-area district's controversial book and gender policies.

The requests come from the #SPLC-named hate group #momsforliberty. The books the rightwing organization wants to ban include: “Slaughterhouse-Five,” by Kurt Vonnegut, “The Bluest Eye,” by Toni Morrison, “The Kite Runner,” by Khaled Hosseini, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky, and the sci-fi series by Sarah J. Maas. #maryland #md #dmv #bookban #censorship #carrollcounty #gqp #rightwing #gop #books
