A school district in Texas temporarily removed the Bible from its libraries in compliance with House Bill 900, aimed at banning sexually explicit content in schools.
The district, serving 11,000 students, reinstated the Bible soon after facing backlash from parents and officials who deemed the move absurd.
Critics of HB900 argue it threatens constitutional freedoms and may lead to the banning of more literature, including classic works.
Following public outcry and clarification on the law, Canyon ISD confirmed the Bible is now available alongside compliance with state guidelines.
The incident highlights broader efforts by conservatives to increase parental control over school curricula amidst ongoing legal challenges.
