A Texas TV station removed a clip that showed footage of Nazi book burning in a report on a local school district decision after outraged Republicans intervened. Houston’s KPRC - owned by Graham Media Group - aired a report last week on Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District’s removal of chapters from textbooks about vaccines, climate change and diversity.
The changes were “quietly implemented” last year, according to the network.
Introducing his report to the camera, journalist Joel Eisenbaum opened a textbook and tore out some of the pages to illustrate the story. “Book banning, in one form or another, goes back a long time,” he said, as the footage was cut with clips of Nazis burning books. “And now it's fashionable again, at least in some of our school districts,” Eisenbaum continued.
Republicans responded with fury and accused KPRC of branding GOP school board members as “Nazis.” “KPRC in Houston is attacking Republican school board members in CyFair, calling them Nazis—all because they dare to prioritize reading, math, and science over leftist indoctrination,” Rep. Wesley Hunt wrote in a post on X, and suggested that the network was motivated by “election interference.”
