Planned Parenthood keeps putting pornographic books in your grandkids' school library.
A coalition of Texas grandmothers and moms started reading those very books out loud at school board meetings.
One school board found out fast what happens when a mother reads its words back to it.
Texas SB13 Was Supposed to Stop This and Planned Parenthood's Allies Kept Pushing Anyway
Texas lawmakers passed Senate Bill 13 last year.
The law forces school libraries to follow the same content standards the FCC already uses for public broadcasts.
Translation: if it's too filthy for daytime television, it's too filthy for a middle school library shelf.
Planned Parenthood didn't write that law.
Bonnie Wallace, legislative liaison with Recover America, did the next best thing.
She started reading the actual pages out loud to the people who put them there.
That's when a Texas school board decided the real problem wasn't the book.
It was Wallace.
A Houston ISD board escorted her out of a meeting for reading, word for word, a book already sitting on that district's shelves.
At another meeting, the board simply cut her microphone off while she read.
Officials called the content "inappropriate to read out loud."
Planned Parenthood's Allies Keep Pushing the Same School Library Books
Planned Parenthood doesn't run this operation alone.
Advocates for Youth, SIECUS, the American Library Association, and the National Coalition Against Censorship all funnel the identical titles into schools.
Advocates for Youth runs a program called Hope in a Box.
It ships "LGBTQ-inclusive" book bundles straight to schools, parental objections or not.
The ALA publishes a recommended reading list, and Planned Parenthood's affiliates publish theirs.
Different letterhead, same books, same target audience – your kids.
A Utah mom named Brooke Stephens ran into this exact wall back in 2022.
She flagged a handful of those books to a principal, but a formal challenge later kept them on the shelves anyway.
So Stephens built something a state legislature couldn't wave off: a rating system.
A Book Rating System Even Hollywood Would Recognize
Stephens' group, Rated Books, scores school library titles zero to five – the same scale Hollywood uses for movies.
Zero means fine for any age.
Five means adult-only and deviant.
Rated Books has already logged more than 700 books with explicit sexual activity or sexual references sitting in K-12 school libraries.
Fifty-nine of those books involve pedophilia.
Thirteen involve necrophilia.
Twenty-one involve bestiality.
One title on Advocates for Youth's recommended list, Middlesex, scored a full five out of five – animal cruelty, body horror, and depictions of sexual assault included.
Planned Parenthood's picks don't fare much better.
Let's Talk About It, a graphic novel Planned Parenthood promotes for pre-teens, tells readers, in Wallace's telling, to "look up interviews with your favorite porn performer" and "pay for your porn."
Wallace says the book won a 2022 award for graphic novel of the year for twelve-year-olds.
Wallace also flagged another Planned Parenthood-linked title, Trans+: Love, Sex, Romance, and Being You, which packs in seventy-five QR codes that track every scan – some leading to sites advertising orgies.
Texas Parents Are Done Asking School Boards Nicely
Protect Texas Children field coordinator Miriam Evans put it plainly.
"Parents assume that if a book is shelved in the children's or teen section, someone has already vetted it," Evans said. "What we keep finding is that no one has."
Her group trains parents to search their own library catalogs and bring the evidence straight to school boards.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick decided talk wasn't enough either.
He and Wallace held a press conference at the Texas Capitol and handed reporters physical copies of Let's Talk About It.
"I don't think you can accurately report on this unless you open this book," Patrick told the room. "Just this one book. It will shock you."
Eight new Protect Texas Children chapters have opened across the state since.
Patrick says the next legislative session will target funding for districts that keep ignoring the law.
Twenty-Six States Now Have School Library Laws Like Texas's
Texas isn't fighting this alone anymore.
Twenty-six states now have some version of a law governing what lands on a school library shelf, and more are lining up behind them.
That's not a coincidence.
It's parents figuring out, district by district, that Planned Parenthood's allies built a pipeline straight into their kids' classrooms – and never asked permission.
Every time a school board tries to silence a mother for reading a library book out loud, they hand this fight its best possible advertisement.
A twelve-year-old can check that same book out without anyone blinking, but a mother reading it out loud got walked out of the building.
That tells you exactly who these school boards are protecting – and it isn't the kids.
