Library "Weeding" Process Update

On 10/24/22, lead GCISD administrators gave a presentation explaining the "weeding" process for library materials. This included training district librarians on how to implement the new TEA recommended library resources policy EFB(LOCAL). They explained the previous core "weeding" process using the acronym "MUSTIE" and described that the policy implementation added the new "weeding" layer of removing obscenities.


Library "Weeding" Process Explained

District administrator Dr. Ray explains the library resources "weeding" process. Leaning heavily on the expertise of GCISD librarians, she explains how those individuals have formed teams to complete this process collectively to ensure uniform application of policy.


This "weeding" process is not new--it occurs year round in all libraries to keep collections up to date. Librarians go through sections at a time as they can, allowing all libraries to stay open at all times for maximum student acce

"What Girls Are Made Of"

This novel features very graphic and explicit sex scenes, child sex (ejaculation with semen dripping down her leg), blow jobs (she describes the taste of the semen), vibrator use (describes her painful orgasm), and various other erotica. Needless to say, this novel qualifies as pervasively vulgar. 

"The Bluest Eye"

Repeated scenes of pedophilia between a father and his little girl. A character continuously speaks of his sexual desire for "little girls" and describes this desire as more pure than that for a full grown woman. This book has explicit child abuse and well as graphic sexual and explicit content with children. It was also part of GCISD teaching materials until the 2022 school year.

"The Glass Castle"

This autobiography features adult and child molestation and sex. It normalizes pedophilia. The grandmother molests the child while he cries,  holding his hands protectively between his legs. She tells her grandson to hold still. Later, the Uncle gropes his niece, then goes to jerk off. The mother tells the girls that sexual assault is a crime of perception. "If you don't think you're hurt, then you aren't" (Ch. 41).

"Perks of Being a Wallflower"

This book features graphic sex scenes with children, rape, forced blow jobs, and child sex. The girl says "no" repeatedly while she cries, but her cries are stifled by his penis in her mouth. In another scene when two boys are together, the one who assumes the role of the female cries uncontrollably until the other boy tells him he should just pretend he is "passed out."

"Fade"

This novel has multiple sex scenes, including sexual acts between children. Teacher, coaches, and children interact sexually together. The teachers drug children to rape them.

"The Kite Runner"

"The Handmaid's Tale"

This book contains sexually explicit and repeated ritual rape scenes, after which "the juice of the Commander runs down my legs" (p. 95). A whorehouse and its female slaves are described: "Women kneeling, sucking penises or guns, women tied up or chained or with dog collars around their necks, women hanging from trees, or upside-down, naked with their legs apart, women being raped, beaten up, killed" (p. 118). GCISD also had the GRAPHIC NOVEL version of this book, but we believed it has been removed.

"Tricks"

This book contains sexually explicit excerpts involving minors. There are also excerpts containing explicit child rape and abuse; illegal drug abuse; graphic violence; underage alcohol consumption; and adult and child prostitution.

"Push"

This book has sexually explicit excerpts, sexual assault, child molestation and abuse, graphic violence, incest, and profanity. "I feel Mama's hand between my legs, moving up my thigh. Her hand stop, she getting ready to pinch me if I move. I just lay still still, keep my eyes close. I can tell Mama's other hand between her legs now 'cause the smell fill room. Mama can't fit into the bathtub no more. Go sleep, go sleep, go to sleep. I tell myself. Maman's hand creepy spider, up my legs, in my pussy…I'm twelve, no I was twelve, when that shit happened," (p. 18).

"Crank"

This book is about doing drugs and having sex. Most of that sex involves multiple drunk or high partners. A painful, explicit, and long rape scene of a virgin by her boyfriend ends in her sobbing, coated in a sticky substance and blood. "Can't rape the willing" he says (p. 401). She gets pregnant from the rape and has permanent physical and emotional scars.

"Red Hood"

Lots of explicit sex scenes with minors. Full condom use lesson. Oral sex while she is menstruating. Erect body parts, supple body parts, and a rough rape scene.


"A Court of Wings and Ruin"

This book is over 1,000 pages long and has straight up pornography. Don't think that means there are pictures. Multiple intercourse scenes are described. Lots of oral sex, lots of fingering and hand jobs.

"Identical"

This book contains explicit sexual

activities including sexual assault and child

molestation; violence including self-harm

and suicidal ideations; profanity and

derogatory terms; and drug and alcohol

abuse. "...when Daddy finished, he burrowed his face into Kaeleigh's hair and wept.

Confused at his tears, and at the sticky stuff icing her hands, still Kaeleigh pleaded,

"Don't cry, Daddy. What's the matter? Didn't I love you good enough?" (p. 152).

"My Friend Dahmer"

Authentic to the true story, this GRAPHIC NOVEL features the story of the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. He kills people, has sex or masturbates himself around the corpses, and then mutilates the bodies. "In Dahmer's fantasies, his lovers.... were dead. Dead men. Corpses," (p. 54).  "Dahmer was obsessed with the jogger who ran past his house every day. For months, Dahmer watched from the woods or from the house as the jogger ran past. Dahmer fantasized about lying down next to his unconscious body, about fondling him and having 'total control' over him," (p. 58). 

"Infandous"

Multiple sex scenes with minors and adults. A daughter reflecting on her mother's sex life when she walks in on her mom having sex with a young man. The daughter compares this to her own sexual experience with an older man, saying " …I was a flower and I opened, I softened, and I ripened and warmed. I felt, I thought, like a woman rather than a girl, and as he found his way inside me, I wondered--fleetingly--if this was what sex was like for my mother."


"The Haters"

Sexually explicit excerpts, sexual commentary, and excessive profanity. "The moment she put me inside her I came. I mean the exact moment. FUCK, I said, and I curled up around her like a snail, and kept coming about a hundred times, and I said fuckfuckfuckfuck, until she said sssshhhhhh, and pushed me back down onto my back and just lay on top of me, and that was how it happened," (p. 265).

"This One Summer"

This graphic novel features discussions of oral sex and child sex, discussions of suicide and unwanted teen pregnancy, a graphic miscarriage, and kids watching and commenting on X-rated pornography. This book is available at Cross Timbers Middle School & GHS.

"Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"

The parent who read this book couldn't find a plot, so she did a tally for colorful words instead.  

"F-ck," "cock shit-ass f-ck," "motherf-cker," and variations were used 90+ times. The actual "f-ck"  and "n-gger" words combined show up almost 100 times. "Dick" or some form of it, like "suckin' everybody's dick," "dick-head," "f-ck dick shit-ass," etc. were featured 15+ times. This novel also spends a full two pages on "how to eat pussy."

"Almost Perfect"

A teenage boy unknowingly has a romantic relationship with a biological male (transgender female). This book contains sexual nudity, sexual activities, and sexual arousal in a child sex scene. The main character describes, in detail, hormone therapy undertaken before finishing puberty to grow breasts as well as her hopes for future surgery to slice and re-form her penis into a vagina. This book is pervasively vulgar, discusses gender modification of a child in detail, and has homophobic slurs. This book is still at CHHS as of 8.31.22.

"Beyond Magenta"

Details the stories of half a dozen teens undergoing different states of gender transition. Only one sexually explicit scene with a 6 year old giving oral sex. Discusses puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for children.

"Lily and Dunkin"

This is the story of a transgender boy who wants to be a girl. He spends the whole novel trying to convince his "close-minded" Neanderthal dad to give him hormone blockers. He has sleepovers with girls and thinks that he should be using the girls' locker room. He also wants estrogen hormones so he can grow boobs, and directly says that he is not okay with "hair growing around [his] penis, because [he's] not okay with [his] penis." 

"Drama"

This was the #1 book at Heritage Middle School ... and so was the rest of the series by the same author. It's a graphic novel focused on questioning sexual identity and sexuality.
