This is the sixth consecutive annual report on censorship in Texas public schools by the ACLU of Texas. Again this year, the Texas Library Association

Districts and Charter Schools in Texas.
The
full report, which contains indexes of books by title (with synopses),
author, and school district, can be obtained by contacting the ACLU of
Texas.
