Activist Books Proposed for High School Libraries
Buried in a list of over 500 books for approval are several highly ideological titles for high schoolers, including “Conversion Therapy Dropout: A Queer Story,” the “Heartstopper” LGBTQ+ graphic novel series, and the “Black Lives Matter memoir” by Patrisse Khan-Cullors. These materials promote specific political and social agendas, replacing neutral library resources with activist literature.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REMOVAL: Email the Board (contact info on the district website) before the meeting: ‘Regarding Consent Item VIII.G, I demand the following titles be removed from the library purchase list before any vote: “When they call you a terrorist,” “Conversion Therapy Dropout,” and “Heartstopper.” Our libraries are for education, not political activism.’

New Members Appointed to Influential Health Committee
The board is approving new members to the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), which advises on sensitive topics like health services, counseling, and sex education. Parents need to know who these new members are and what ideologies they might bring to the committee that shapes health policy for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
VET THE LIST: The agenda for Item VIII.F includes a list of new SHAC members. Research these individuals and contact the Board before Tuesday’s meeting: ‘Parents must have confidence in the School Health Advisory Council. Please table the approval of new SHAC members under Item VIII.F until the community has had a chance to understand their positions on parental rights in health education.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Health Policies

Secretive Policy Update on Consent Agenda
The board is voting on “TASB Policy Update #127” but has not included the text of the policy changes in the public agenda. These updates can contain significant changes affecting parental rights, student discipline, or curriculum, and must be reviewed before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item VIII.D attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board: ‘I demand the full text of TASB Policy Update #127 under Item VIII.D be made public and discussed openly, not passed on the consent agenda, before any vote is taken.’

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Follows Transparency Policy for Library Books
The district is complying with Policy EFB(LOCAL) by posting the full list of proposed library books for a 30-day public review period before the board vote. This transparency is a major win for parents, giving us the necessary time to review materials and voice concerns about inappropriate content before it reaches the shelves.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY AND USE THIS WIN: Show up or email the board to thank them for upholding the 30-day review policy in Item VIII.G. This reinforces good behavior and establishes a precedent. Use this opportunity to also challenge the specific ideological titles on the list, proving why this transparency is so vital.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Oversight
