Two proposed bills in the House and Senate would identify explicit materials in school libraries, and allow parents to opt their kids out of reading the books.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Republicans in the Pennsylvania State House are calling for more accountability over the books sitting on school library shelves.
“Librarians and school districts need to be very careful about what they have and what they’re exposing children [to]," said Rep. Jones. "Some of our schools are 'opt-out,' meaning a child was already exposed [to explicit material] without their parents' knowledge," said Rep. Jones."The parent has to preemptively go into the school and protect their child against this when it should be the schools protecting them from this obscene material."
Some Central Pa. residents, like Gloria Allen, believe lawmakers shouldn't be regulating books in school libraries.
