Federal Court Upholds Block on Texas Law Banning Explicit Books in Schools

A federal appeals court has upheld a decision to block Texas from enforcing parts of a law aimed at banning sexually explicit books from public school libraries. The ruling came after a close 9-8 vote by the 5th Circuit Court judges on April 16, which decided against reconsidering a January decision by a three-judge panel. This law also included provisions requiring booksellers to assign sex-content ratings to titles sold to public schools.
