A new bill proposed in Oklahoma state Senate would give parents the power to request certain books be pulled from the library of their children’s school, and to collect at least $10,000 for every day the school refuses to do so.
Senate Bill 1142, sponsored by Republican state Sen. Rob Standridge, would allow parents of children in the state’s public schools to file a written request to remove any books that “make as their primary subject the study of sex, sexual preferences, sexual activity, sexual perversion, sex-based classifications, sexual identity, or gender identity.”
