While Texas State Representative Matt Krause's attempt to limit exposure these books is politically misguided and dangerous, we're not talking about books not being allowed to be read. We're talking about schools not being allowed to have the books in their libraries.
> But even then; I can download the PDF on the net without issues. And I can read it. I can even sell an old copy of the book (if I had one) without repercussions.
Students in Texas could also do all of these things, even if these books were banned from school libraries. If this nonsense goes through, the best way to address it in the short term would be to increase kid's exposure to the list and suggest it as a reading list. Kids are naturally curious about 'banned' things.
All they really even need to do is read the titles of the books in the list and they'll get a good idea of what makes conservatives in TX scared.
