Rating Library Books as Compelled Speech? The Legal Challenges of Texas' READER Act

In this episode of This Week in Education Law: Educational Administrators' Guide #33, I introduce a recent case, Book People v.

This act requires library material vendors to rate books based on sexual content. Is this mandate a form of compelled speech?
