Federal court: 8 of 17 books on racism and LGBTQ+ issues removed by Texas county officials must return to shelves amid lawsuit over book bans.
A federal appeals court ruled that eight books dealing with racism and transgender issues must be returned to library shelves in Llano County , Texas after county officials had removed 17 books, partially overturning a lower court order to return all the books while a lawsuit against the book ban ning proceeds.
The ruling from Pitman, nominated to the federal court by former President Barack Obama, was on hold during the appeal. Thursday's ruling was a preliminary injunction, and more court proceedings are likely. "But a book may not be removed for the sole — or a substantial — reason that the decisionmaker does not wish patrons to be able to access the book's viewpoint or message," Wiener wrote.
