Books Matt Krause doesn't want you to read
All of these are from the list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. Not necessarily recommendations but there are some pretty good books on here. As well as a lot of textbooks

How did we get here?
What I was taught does not explain the world as I am witnessing it. So I compiled this list as a personal curriculum for histories that are critical of empire and capitalism, and actually shows us how we got here.
The list is not comprehensive, but I hope it helps people identify the gaps in their own historical education!

Become radicalized
History repeats, and most of us need an education.
Includes classics on American history & contemporary looks at the many -ism’s that consume us. Some microhistories are also thrown in. See them as case studies.
This list is by no means exhaustive. Feel free to comment other titles!

Krause Banned Book List Project
In October 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause initiated an inquiry targeting a list of approximately 850 books in Texas public schools, alleging they could cause "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" regarding race or sex. The list disproportionately targeted LGBTQ+ topics, race/racism, and sex education.
This is my project to read through this list for myself - utilizing my local library system for access to these titles. Follow the journey or join along!
