Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has proposed penalties for schools with certain books on their library shelves. He vows to pass legislation that would punish public schools for not removing graphic books.

The proposed punishment would affect the state's annual school performance ratings. Schools that do not remove these books would be knocked down a notch in the ratings.

Further details about the proposed legislation are available from the source, including the specifics of the penalties and the criteria for determining which books are considered graphic.
