Vice recalled that in the state of Texas, an official investigation was launched against several schools because of books with sexual content in their libraries.

Teachers and librarians were asked to review the list of objectionable works and decide which works complied with the new regulations and which did not.

In America, it has become more and more common to ban LGBTQ books - or books with any sexual content - in schools and libraries. Several people have reported that they have been attacked by certain far-right groups because of books with such themes.
