Some League City residents fear a measure like this will do more harm than good for members of their community.
Council voted for a measure that will prohibit the use of tax dollars to purchase or stock certain books on their library shelves.
Also included in the measure are books that depict any type of sex, nudity, or sexual preference topics where the intended audience is under the age of 10. "Young women like me who had done more…who accomplished more, and survived what they did to them," she says. "I found language to talk about what happened to me. And if we pass such a broad resolution we take that ability away from our children."Parents who were for the proposal also spoke – many of them reading graphic excerpts from books they said they checked out at Helen Hall.
