political-action committee, spoke to ABC13 and said that more than 40 books had been submitted for review this school year -- a far cry from the eight submitted in 2022 and the zero submitted in 2021.
A list shared with ABC13 by a district spokesperson shows titles submitted for reconsideration, including "Magic Treehouse: Dragon of the Red Dawn" and "Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties." "For every action, there's a reaction, and so the push to begin to ban books has also brought out counter-opponents who want to keep the books there," Jones said.
Trustees Caesar, Gonzales, and Klam were the three trustees who voted against taking educators out of the process. They argued that it wasn't the board's place to make these kinds of decisions.
