American Library Association’s ties to Planned Parenthood

In 1978, the Council of the ALA filed a resolution espousing its belief that
<><>librarians should have an “active role” in providing sex-related education, materials, programs, and “referral services,”
<><>urges librarians to ensure “comprehensive sex-related education materials, programs, referral and “health services” for youth are available and publicized”.

This 1978 ALA resolution was submitted to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc. “for inclusion in their Positive Policy Handbook of organization statements supporting sexual health and education services for youth.

Public libraries are funded by local tax dollars, but they may also receive funding from state and federal sources, including the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), and other federal grants.

The ALA is a 501(c)(3) organization, which means it is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This status allows for tax deductions for donations made to the ALA.

The ALA may receive grants from foundations, government agencies, or other organizations.

The ALA generates revenue from its annual conference and from publishing books, journals, and other materials.

Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT):The ALA may also pay UBIT on income that is not directly related to its tax-exempt purposes, such as income from advertising in its journals.

The ALA actively advocates for increased funding for libraries through lobbying efforts and working with government agencies like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

The ALA’s funding comes from various sources, including:
Donations: Individuals and organizations donate to support the ALA’s mission.
Membership dues from librarians and other library professionals contribute to the ALA’s budget.

Liz - most of these groups are interrelated and liberal - and they're the people who know how to get and use government funding. It's time to stop all this and divide funding based on more than 'Are you a democrat 'elite' with connections' and in need of a cushy job to push the liberal agenda'

We pay more for education in our country and get worse test scores from our kids than most first world countries. It's the same with money and 'grants' for 'social services' - we spend more in total and get a whole lot less.
