Description
A new bill may soon make it illegal for Washington school districts to ban books with content based on certain populations.
The Senate passed House Bill 2331 on Thursday, Feb. 22. It was passed 29-20, along party lines with Democrats voting for the bill and Republicans against.
The bill would prohibit school boards from banning books with content on populations considered "protected," which includes sex, race, religion or sexual orientation. The bill includes any textbooks, instructional material or other student curriculum.
