Texas schools respond to House inquiry on library books about sexuality, race
At least two of the state’s largest school districts won’t comply with a Republican general investigating committee chair’s request to divulge information about books kept in school and classroom libraries — and even more say they won’t meet his Friday deadline.
Austin and Dallas Independent School Districts say they won’t respond to state Rep. Matt Krause’s request for them to go through a list of more than 800 books and tell him how many copies are in their possession and how much they cost. Houston ISD, the largest public school system in the state, declined to say whether it would do the lawmaker’s bidding.
In a letter making the request, Krause, a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, described the impetus for the inquiry as a series of controversies at Texas school districts — Carroll, Spring Branch, Lake Travis, Leander and Katy — involving books that parents wanted pulled from shelves.
The Fort Worth Republican has repeatedly declined to comment, saying it’s the committee’s longstanding policy not to comment on pending investigations. Krause has said in a radio interview that the purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether recent laws governing what can be taught in schools about race and sexuality are being followed.

nor is Das Kapital, but Nancy Garden's The Year They Burned the Books is. Strange. 
Like most things Reich wing, it's a mish mash of the stupid and unread.
