Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, (eighty-one million votes, my ass) tries to force schools to keep obscene material on their library shelves for all the kids to see and read.
...The Biden administration’s latest assault on parental rights began with an investigation of Forsyth County Public Schools (FCPS), outside of Atlanta, over the district’s review of school libraries to flag age-inappropriate sexual material for removal. The school district expressly and categorically limited the scope of this review to books containing “obviously sexually explicit or pornographic content.” No one who reads the relevant excerpts of these books can seriously dispute that their graphic descriptions of nudity, oral sex, sexual assault, and other sexual behavior meet the district’s reasonable standard of content that is inappropriate for school-age children....
... the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) nevertheless opened an investigation into whether the district’s book review had created a “hostile environment” based on race and sex that the school district had unlawfully failed to remedy....
Forsyth County schools surrendered and gave the Feds some sort of concession statement.
It ain't just Georgia. They'll be in Waukesha and Pewaukee any day now.
... the White House made clear that the FCPS matter was not an isolated investigation, announcing that OCR will appoint a new “coordinator” to warn state and local education agencies that heeding parents’ calls to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries could trigger the agency’s enforcement authority, including the withholding of federal funding.
OCR’s enforcement wheels are already turning in its investigation of Granbury Independent School District in North Texas over that district’s removal of sexually explicit school library books. Granbury, a conservative town of 11,000, makes an easy target for the Biden administration. The FCPS [Forsyth County Public Schools] agreement serves as the template to force Granbury and other school districts throughout the country to abide by OCR standards on the content of books they must make available to schoolchildren....
You ask: "Does Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants (eighty-one million votes, my ass) have the legal authority for this?"
The answer is: NOPE.
But they'll do it anyway. It's what tyrants do--until met with an equal or greater force.....

I know somebody I can ask about the Forsyth County thing.
So, what I hear is that this is part of a larger settlement with parents who sued the school system after the school board stopped letting them speak at meetings (after they had spoken several times). The parents sued, the schools settled, and this part is the part the schools added to keep them from being sued by the Feds in response to the settlement with the parents.
The parents won, sort of. Their original goal was a review of every book in the library system. They didn’t get that, but they got enough that the system thought OCR would hit them without a backstop.
Pyrrhic victory at best. The Feds are bending the settlement into some sort of OCR "mandate," which they intend to enforce nationally.
Federalist (my citation in the post) is convinced that OCR action is far beyond their legal authority. But that's what the Biden people do.
