(From left to Right) Trustee Rick Garcia, Superintendent Dr. Marc Smith, President Kristin Tassin and Trustee David Hamilton attend a Fort Bend Independent School District board meeting on Monday, August 26, 2024 in Sugar Land, TX. Trustees voted 5-2 to approve a library book policy, which allows the superintendent to have sole authority to remove content from library shelves. Critics have called it the “most restrictive (policy) in the state of Texas,” and warned that the policy could result in hundreds of books being taken off Fort Bend ISD library shelves.


A discussion about Texas' controversial Bible-infused curriculum got so heated Monday night that police removed a woman who flipped off a Fort Bend ISD trustee and called him a fascist.

The uproar over whether the Fort Bend ISD should review a sample of the Texas Education Agency's Bluebonnet materials interrupted the meeting in Sugar Land, forcing officers to ask the public to leave so they could escort the woman off the premises. 

In addition to the angry woman, parent Sumita Ghosh called the board and administration “evil” and threatened to sue the district of 79,000 students if they eventually implement the state-created curriculum including Bible-infused lessons as early as kindergarten.
