As to myself, I endorsed and supported Lauren Simmons. The book banning support from Shawn Thierry was the final straw.

The Bible has very explicit language, for example;

1. “If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity.”
2. “When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts.”
3. “A loving doe, a graceful deer — may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.”
4. “Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.”
5. “Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.”
6. “My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.”
7. “I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment.”
8. “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children — as is the custom all over the earth. Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.” “So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.”

Those words can be found in the Bible. Should we ban the bible from schools? Source

Harry Potter, Charlotte’s Web, Of Mice and Men, almost 1,000 books could be banned because of the bill Thierry supported.

Texas has banned books about boys and books about girls, and books where the gender is more of a swirl. It’s banned books about sex and books about race, and books about those whose white hoods hide their face. It’s banned classics, and new books, and books in-between; it’s banned best-sellers, award winners, and books rarely seen. It’s banned books about what the Nazis did to the Jews, and beloved old books by the great Judy Blume. It’s banned comics, and prose books, and books full of poems; it’s banned slim volumes, and it’s banned hefty tomes. Texas has banned a huge number of books, indeed!
