A new bill proposed in Oklahoma state Senate would give parents the power to request certain books be pulled from the library of their childrenâs 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 stateâs public schools to file a written request to remove any books that âmake as their primary subject the study of sex, sexual preferences, sexual activity, sexual perversion, sex-based classifications, sexual identity, or gender identity.â
Removal requests can also be made on books that are âof a sexual nature that a reasonable parent or legal guardian would want to know of or approve of prior to their child being exposed to it,â according to the text of the bill.
