The Texas legislature has passed a new age verification law that compels adult websites to post pseudoscientific anti-porn propaganda disclaimers declaring that “pornography is potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses and weakens brain function.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott today sent a second letter to state education authorities claiming minors “have been exposed to pornographic books and content in Texas public schools” and instructing the Texas Education Agency to “investigate any criminal activity in our public schools involving the availability of pornography.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a strongly-worded letter to the state’s Association of School Boards endorsing a group of parents who demanded their children be “shielded” from some books in school libraries, referring to the material as “clearly pornographic images and substance” and “obscene content.”
