I honestly don't think he is stooping to unnecessary censorship, he is just making sure, imo, no race baiting, critical race theory, gender reassignment info, LGBTQ info, among other things, are in these grade school books?

I am pretty sure he is an advocate for free speech as well but he knows/recognizes being a certain age to be able to understand such things, especially of a sexual nature, is important too.
These drag queens and the like reading and dancing for these toddlers is something I never imagined would ever happen. It's insanity, and guess what party is pushing it?

I would not give a public official authority to decide what is or is not race baiting. If a kids' book on Roberto Clemente is under scrutiny, something is wrong with that picture. BTW I went to school with Kim Crenshaw, credited with being one of the founders of critical race theory.
