The Round Rock Independent School District has been accused of removing Holy Bibles from its libraries shelves while keeping Islamic texts available.
Former Round Rock ISD school board trustee Dr. Mary Bone revealed in April that the school district had removed all of its Holy Bibles from its library catalog and replaced them with the Quran.
When Bone searched the district’s catalog, she said she could not find the Holy Bible in the catalogs of two high schools, including Round Rock High School and Cedar Ridge High School. However, when she searched for the Quran, copies were available at both schools.
After Bone released screenshots from the district’s library catalog, it appeared that Cedar Ridge High School put the Holy Bible back on its shelves. However, Round Rock High School has yet to put it back.
This is not the first allegation of anti-Christian discrimination within the school district.
Last year, Round Rock ISD declined to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms in accordance with Senate Bill 10. The district said it was delaying implementation because of its First Amendment and pending litigation.
Shortly afterward, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld SB 10, leading the district to eventually display the posters in its schools.
However, Round Rock ISD is not the only Texas school district facing accusations of sidelining Christianity while accommodating Islamic beliefs.
Marco Hunter-Lopez, a student in Wylie ISD in North Texas, blew the whistle on multiple alleged anti-Christian instances within the school district.
According to Hunter-Lopez’s congressional testimony, McMillan Junior High offered copies of the Quran, but no Holy Bibles were available in the library.
At Wylie East High School, an Islamic outreach group also appeared on campus to distribute Islamic texts and hijabs to female students.
Following Hunter-Lopez’s viral video of the incident, an email from the district stated that the Islamic materials distributed on campus had not been reviewed or approved in advance.
The district added that “Wylie ISD does not allow the distribution of any religious materials to students, regardless of the group or message,” calling the incident a “clear violation of board policy.”
Wylie East High School Principal Tiffany Doolan also addressed parents following the incident, saying mistakes were made and that she took responsibility for the event happening on her campus.
Hunter-Lopez, however, claimed the principal was present at the school when the group arrived. He also alleged that photos existed from previous years showing Doolan wearing a hijab and promoting Islamic events.
“So even if policies were broken, the principal looked on and did nothing about it, so we know she was just A-OK with it,” said Hunter-Lopez.
During the 2025 school year, Doolan posted on the school’s principal account showing herself wearing a hijab alongside other students for World Hijab Day.
“Yesterday, our MSA created an opportunity for everyone to experience the beauty of wearing a hijab on World Hijab Day!” the post stated. “I LOVED this experience!”
Following both instances in Texas schools, Bone is now calling on parents to check their children’s school libraries.
“This is not neutrality. This is blatant anti-Christian discrimination,” Bone wrote.
“Parents: It’s time to check your school libraries. Enough is enough.”
