Pornographic content is unsuitable for educational environments. Exposure to sexually explicit material can be deeply harmful and traumatic for children, potentially causing long-term psychological damage. HB 636 establishes reasonable standards to safeguard children, ensuring that educational materials are suitable for their developmental stage. Schools should foster the growth of young minds, not expose them to content that undermines their innocence.

​

This legislation protects public school students by mandating that library books and materials meet specific criteria: they must support and enhance personal learning, be appropriate for the students’ age, grade, intellectual development, and exclude content harmful to minors, such as material depicting or describing sexual activity or that is excessively vulgar. HB 636 ensures children are shielded from sexually explicit content presented as educational material in the public school library.
