Oklahoma State Senator Rob Standridge proposed a bill that would financially incentivize parents to remove books discussing gender identity, sexual identity, and other topics regarding sexuality from public school libraries. Not only would this bill dramatically affect LGBTQIA+ youth in the state, but parents who report books would be paid $10,000 PER DAY that the book remains in school.

Under Senate Bill 1142, introduced earlier this month by state Sen. Rob Standridge, just one parent would have to object to a book that includes discussion of "sexual perversion, sex-based classifications, sexual identity, or gender identity" and other related themes in order to begin the process of removal.
Upon receiving a written request to remove a book, a school district would have 30 days to eliminate all copies of the material from circulation." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
