Library media must be suitable for the age, grade level, intellectual development, and ability level of students, aligning with their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities.

SAMPLE LETTERS

Dear Representative or Senator,

Please support HB 636: Promoting Wholesome Content for Students Act. North Carolina schools should be focused on age-appropriate, educational content—not sexually explicit material.

HB 636 will provide clear standards to protect students from harmful content that doesn’t belong in our schools. It also will give parents have the right to review books in school libraries and request the removal of materials that contain graphic, visual or written depictions of sex acts or nudity.

North Carolina children deserve to learn in an environment that protects their innocence and reflects the values of their families. Parents should not have to be concerned with confusing, age inappropriate content in schools classrooms or libraries.

Please support HB 636 to protect kids and empower parents.

Sincerely,

(Your name, email, and address are essential for your letter to be considered)
