In Katy, Texas, a suburban school district near Houston is drawing national attention for its decision to remove over a dozen books from its school libraries, including well-known titles such as Wicked and The Handmaid’s Tale. The move has sparked debates about censorship, age-appropriate content, and academic freedom.
The decision, led by school board member Morgan Calhoun, is based on concerns that the books contain explicit material unsuitable for young students. Calhoun defends the action, stating, “These titles have graphic content that is simply not appropriate for children.” She points to Wicked. . .
