Parents, students and teachers rallied ahead of the Central Bucks School District’s vote to remove books perceived to have sexualized content from their libraries outside the district’s headquarters in Doylestown on July 26, 2022.

The Central Bucks School District has passed another policy that censors “sexualized content.” Last month, it was about filtering library books. Now it’s about all textbooks and district-wide resource materials. WHYY’s Emily Rizzo has more.
