Keller ISD is removing all challenged books from its schools following a months-long audit of flagged titles on district shelves.Brandon Bell/Getty ImagesAdministrators at Dallas-Fort Worth's Keller ISD announced Tuesday that the district will pull all books challenged within its system—a sweeping action that includes the removal of all variations of the Bible and a graphic novel depicting the life of Anne Frank. The move is a seemingly abrupt course reversal for the district, which began a high-profile and months-long review of challenged works in its schools following a Texas Education Agency investigation into alleged sexual explicit materials found in its curriculum.
