Related: About this forumArizona Senate OKs making list of books to ban in schools
State senators gave preliminary approval Thursday to a measure directing the Education Department to come up with a list of books to ban in public schools.
And it wouldnt just include lewd or sexual materials.
SB1700 would require the department, now headed by elected Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne, to also include on that list materials that promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns.
The measure includes similar language on what local school boards and school libraries would be required to remove from shelves.

Only certain people will be allowed to read to you, and they dictate what you hear when they read.
