Katy ISD Families for First Amendment Freedoms

The majority of Americans, and the majority of Katy ISD families, support the freedom to read and learn without interference from the Board of Trustees or the government. Every family, in partnership with educators and librarians, has the right to determine what books are right for their family. That right, however, does not extend to restricting or banning books for anyone else's children. Join fellow Katy ISD families in the fight against censorship. Follow KISD Equity 4 All on Facebook for updates and advocacy opportunities related to the pursuit of equitable education for all students in Katy ISD.
