Parents have a right to be involved in their childeren's education. The values of the community should be honored in the school’s policies and in this particular case – the school library policies and procedures. This is a petition demanding that RRISD adopt a policy that requires the public elementary and middle school libraries in our school system create a separate section for books that contain explicit language and mature content. We also demand that parental consent should be required for their child's access to books from this section. All of these types of books containing explicit language and mature content must also be clearly labeled on the front cover or spine as, This Book Contains Material that May Be Unsuitable for Children - Parental Guidance is Strongly Suggested.

I just looked at the screen and saw the number one hundred sitting there which is honestly just wild because I remember staring at the blank page just thinking this would go nowhere. My coffee is cold now but I honestly do not even care because it is so wild to see people actually agreeing with this idea about library labels and consent.

Common sense. Kids are kids and they dont need to be exposed to mature topics before they are ready.

What happened to the basics? Reading writing and math is what schools are for. Please adopt this policy ASAP.

THANK YOU. Parents should know what their children are checking out. It shouldnt be this hard to keep inappropriate content away from little kids.

Finally someone is doing something about this. My kids are way too young to be seeing some of the stuff that is currently on the shelves in their own school library.

Parents need to be in charge of what their own kids read. Not the school.

Keep our schools focused on education not social agendas. We have the right to know what our kids are reading.
