Iowa lawmakers questioned Iowa's public school leaders on procedures to review so-called 'inappropriate' library books after parents raised concerns about book content last week during an Iowa House Government Oversight Committee hearing. Earlier this month, the panel met with a conservative group of parents from the Iowa chapter of Moms for Liberty. The group touts popular Republican policies in education like parental rights to review curriculum. Iowa House and Senate Republicans introduced and pushed legislation that prohibits instruction on gender identity and sexuality in some grade levels.
