Two Northeast Tarrant County school districts are reviewing some controversial policy changes, many of them dealing with books that will be available to students.
The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD Board of Trustees is expected to vote on several new policies relating to issues that have become hot-button political issues in recent years.
According to the proposed changes, teachers and staffers could use someone's preferred pronouns but would not be required to.
Topics relating to sexual orientation and gender identity would be off-limits unless everyone in the class has completed fifth grade. And any teaching of the 1619 Project, or Critical Race Theory, would be prohibited altogether.
A little further west in the Keller ISD, the board there will be voting on guidelines on library content. Last week, the district attracted national controversy when it pulled 41 books, including all versions of the Bible and a graphic adaptation of the diary of Holocaust victim Anne Frank.
