District Proposes Bulk Purchase of Ideological Library Books
The board is set to approve a massive list of new library books, including titles promoting contested ideologies on gender, sexuality, and race, such as ‘Heartstopper’ and ‘Hood Feminism.’ This entire purchase is bundled on the consent agenda, limiting public debate on the use of taxpayer funds to politicize school libraries.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Fort Bend ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand the Library Book Purchase item be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to know which board members support buying politically divisive books for our students.’
💰 Impact: Politicizing School Libraries

District to Present “Climate and Culture” Survey Data
The district will present data from its “Climate, Culture, and Engagement Survey.” These surveys often collect subjective data on students and staff that can be used to justify ideological programs or hiring consultants, without clear parental oversight.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Fort Bend ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the Climate Survey, please publish the full survey instrument and all vendor contracts associated with it. Parents have a right to know what data is being collected on their children and for what purpose.’
💰 Impact: Student Data Harvesting

District Taps Bond Funds for State Environmental Grant
The district is accepting an $841,072 state environmental grant to replace 8 buses, using $515,679 from 2023 Bond contingency funds to cover its share. Using flexible bond funds for a grant with an environmental focus requires scrutiny to ensure no ideological strings are attached.
Response
MONITOR FOR STRINGS: Contact the Fort Bend ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the TCEQ grant, please confirm that accepting these funds does not commit the district to any future environmental mandates or reporting requirements beyond the scope of this bus purchase.’
💰 Impact: Use of Bond Contingency
