Okay, so unfortunately HP nine hundred has just passed the
House and the Senate is now going to go to
government Abbott's desk where it's gonna ban all sorts of
books throughout the state.
And when I say banning all sorts of books, let
me show you an example on just how far an
extreme this legislation is.
Is sex with a prostitute patently offensive to you?
Yes.
It is.
Okay.
So if if sex with a prostitute is sexual conduct
and patently offensive under your bill, lonesome dove by Larry
McMurch would be banned in school libraries across Texas.
I'm just saying if we're doing this so broadly to
where you're sweeping in lonesome dove, then we need to
tighten up the language.
Well, and and I don't care if it's lonesome dove
or any other novel.
Bill, it's up to us to tighten the bill to
make sure that when vendors are looking, they don't ban
lonesome dove because that's crazy.
They might need to ban lonesome dove, though.
That's my point.
I mean, I I think that's helpful to hear from
you that that that would be the intended that would
be the consequence.
If if it's sexually explicit, if it is, then it
should not be.
Yeah, because I'm the one that wrote the bill.
I know.
