Republicans in the Texas House Republicans, led by Representative Brad Buckley, are pushing for the approval of Senate Bill 13 banning books that contain "filth." 

In a discussion on the floor of the House Monday, Buckley was questioned as to whether the bill would ban books that discuss prostitution, the "F" word and premarital sex and tended to agree with that. 

“A speaker before me said we should cherish the value of books. Well, maybe so, but I would argue we should cherish and value our kids more, and Senate Bill 13 will do exactly that,” Buckley said

Rep. James Talarico, D-Austin, pointed specifically to bill language requiring approved books to adhere to “local community values,” which he said could lead small, vocal groups of people to limit students’ book access. Talarico said titles often taught in public schools like "Romeo and Juliet," that discusses premarital sex, “Catcher in the Rye,” that includes 300 curse words and  “Lonesome Dove” that includes mention of prostitution in the Old West.

Certainly, Republicans like Buckley would agree on the banning of the Holy Bible, a book with frequent references to homosexual sex, seduction by a prostitute, men "laying" with a man as they do a woman and incest, such as Lot sleeping with his two daughters.
