The RPT Subcommittee: Stop Sexualizing Texas Kids is committed to driving legislation that will prohibit sexually explicit books from Texas school libraries and children's sections of libraries across the state.

The state has a compelling interest to protect kids from sexualization and harmful materials in their libraries. Children throughout the state need the same protection, regardless of where they live and go to school.

Please reach out to me if you have questions.

In liberty and God’s grace,

Christin Bentley M.S. SREC-SD1
