Stopping Libraries From Sexualizing Children

Protecting The Next Generation

The State of Florida recently joined a growing number of states that have cut ties with the American Library Association (ALA) over its promotion of Marxism, racism & sexual grooming of children via explicit & hate-filled reading materials. Florida’s Division of Library and Information Services, a division of the Florida Department of State, issued a new rule stipulating that it would “not allow grant project activities associated” with the American Library Association or its affiliates.

With this move Florida joins a growing list of Republican states and lawmakers leveling scrutiny on ALA, labeling the group as “toxic” and a “conduit” for exposing children to pornography.

The ALA has publicly opposed Florida’s policy to remove sexually explicit content from schools. On August 31, they defended sexually explicit content such as “Gender Queer” and alleged such books have “similar material” to the Bible. [Author’s note: the bible does not have drawings of kids masterbating, having sex with other kids & adults, etc.] According to data released in February, 153 out of 175 (87%) books removed from Florida schools were “pornographic, violent or inappropriate for the grade level for some other reason.”

PROTECTING THE NEXT GENERATION

In April 2022, the ALA elected Emily Drabinski as the organization’s 2023-2024 president. Drabinski celebrated in a tweet, “I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of the @ALALibrary.”

The Idaho Commission for Libraries let its ALA membership expire in February due, in part, to politics stating that it was not a good investment. Idaho taxpayers have given the ALA $27,780.34 since the 2016 fiscal year.

In July, the Montana State Library Commission voted to withdraw from the ALA over Drabinski’s Marxist self-identity. In August, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) followed suit for the same reason.

Also in July, Missouri discontinued financial payments to the ALA after a director advised libraries on how to “‘exploit loopholes to block’ a faith-based book publisher from holding story hours in libraries across the country.” In September, South Carolina canceled its ALA membership for the same reason.

In October the Alabama Public Library Service officials called for Drabinski’s impeachment and urged libraries to disregard the ALA’s policies in a memo that also recommended the state withdraw its ALA membership.

Four county libraries have also withdrawn their membership dues from the ALA since August: Citrus County, Fla., Hernando County, Fla., Collier County, Fla., and Campbell County, Wyo.

EXPOSING ANOTHER PROFESSION

Many professions and so-called experts are currently being exposed for promoting ideas, policies and programs that harm Americans. The librarian profession has been promoting the destruction of American society and culture for at least two decades. It is long past time Americans, especially parents & grandparents, stop listening to this group of “professionals” and start listening to common sense.

“The great upheaval in educational institutions is most welcome and long overdue,” Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon said. “The ALA has been promoting progressive ideology for many years,” Kilgannon said in July. “Their annual conference has had breakout sessions on how to feature racist and sexualized content frequently. The re-election of an openly Marxist president, who ran for the job promising to inject her militant views into the organization, was the last straw.”

“Groups like the American Library Association are being exposed as not merely unnecessary expenses, but indeed malicious enforcers of the worst orthodoxies of the Left,” Kilgannon explained.

University of Pennsylvania professor Jonathan Zimmerman lamented ALA’s loss of “professional deference.” “We used to trust our librarians to make judgments,” he said. “This is just another chapter in the erosion of professional authority.”

“Parents who have tried to get books that are inappropriate for children restricted by age or removed altogether often find the book approval process used by their school systems requires NO ONE to read the books (including library staff) and was designed in consultation with left-wing groups like the ALA,” Kilgannon said. “The educational establishment is going to have a really hard time surviving the no-nonsense assessment of America’s moms and dads.”
