A Texas school district is apologizing to parents after books with inappropriate content including graphic sex scenes were assigned to teens as part of the reading curriculum.

Leander Independent School District north of Austin said it selected new reading materials last spring as part of a routine process of developing a new English Language Arts curriculum aligning to new state standards. Students are allowed to choose which book from the list they want to read and complete assignments on, but some parents said they were still caught off guard by the titles.
