The Louisiana Supreme Court has revived a lawsuit between a middle school librarian and furious parents who accused her of promoting pornography and 'erotic content' to children.
Amanda Jones, the school librarian at Live Oak Middle School, sued the Citizens for a New Louisiana, its leader Michael Lunsford, and parent Ryan Thames for defamation in 2022.
Her lawsuit, seen by DailyMail.com, claimed they publicly accused her of promoting porn and 'erotic contents' to minors by placing 'inappropriate' books in the 'kid's section' of her library.
The controversial books involved in the argument include 'Dating and Sex: A Guide for the 21st Century Teen Boy' by Andrew P. Smiler and 'Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human' by Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan.
The lawsuit was dismissed that same year, but Jones' appeal reached the state supreme court who overruled the judgment on Friday - sending the case back to the court of appeals to reconsider.
'Before all this, I was just a school librarian, but they wanted to silence me, so I thought I would do the exact opposite and become an activist,' Jones told The New York Times.
'What we're seeing now is full-scale attacks on people's characters if they stand up for books. The hate level and the vitriol is unreal to me.'
The ordeal began when Jones spoke out about book bans at the Livingston Parish Library board meeting on July 19, 2022. She immediately faced backlash - and people online started targeting her for defending the literature.
At the meeting, a board member expressed her concerns about books for children and teens that had 'inappropriate' content.
During the public comment section of the meeting, Jones criticized banning books from the library.

SOMEONE HERE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME
tough call, but it’s my kid, not yours or the states. My kid trumps everything. If you as a parent want your kid to read it, then get off the couch in the yard, go to the school itself and get it for your kid.
Leftists today are firmly on the side of the devil, which is why they wanted God out of the schools. Did anyone really think it would end there? The devil wants, more than anything, to destroy humanity, because God made us in His image. The best way to corrupt them is to plant the seeds of corruption at a young age.
Sooner or later, they always reveal their true nature. Usually it’s after they have enough power that no one can stop them, but sometimes they slip.
yep
Like when Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama purposely omitted “under God” in some (not all) of his readings
I didn’t keep the videos but I should have
Then there’s Democrat Joe Biden and “the thing”

What a kook and fat-ass loser! And she/this clown is proud of it in a conservative Louisiana town. She’s looking to score $$$ via her ambulance chaser, contingency lawyer.
“Jones’s advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and representation in libraries appears to stem from her experiences as an ally rather than personal identification. She states, “My best friend growing up was gay and he had to move to another state because he did not believe he belonged in Louisiana. I do not want anyone else to feel that way ever again”1.”
So friends are her top concern. Guess she missed the God, Family and Country memo. Her friend trumps all. Hero of the stupid.
Why isn’t she in jail?
lets face it. sex education USED TO BE the. duty of the parents.
that was signed away a long time ago, by those same parents.
when the school became the central parent, that changed it all.
Liberals are hooked on smut
“My best friend growing up was gay “
I wonder what else didn’t happen
We fixed this by reading excerpts in the school board and town council meetings. They wanted to censor the content in the meeting but make it available to children. We made sure they knew that we knew.
And if their is a line they will test it and keep testing that line until it's broken.
do I have to point out the different between catcher in the rye, flowers for algernon, and 50 shades of grey?? Do i have to spell out at what age "catcher" and flowers for algernon" are appropriate? H.S. 15.
Hustler? No one.
I don't care if Larry flint won his case. Kids need to be protected from adults who are all for freedom of speech.
And it's not the governments job the raise your kid. Home school and take the time to get involved with what your kids read and watch on the computer!
Sorry Amanda. After seeing you with that shirt, it destroyed any sympathy I might have had for you.
If you go to the link it shows Pages in ‘Let’s Talk About It’ depicting images of two women being intimate and discussing ‘check-in’ words.
This woman is mentally ill and needs to be in jail NOT teaching kids this perverted blasphemy.
Democrats basically kicked God out of their meetings too.
They wrote God and Founding Fathers out of their meetings too

And when someone in their party tried to reinstate God in the meetings, many democrats got very angry and bood the speaker
She looks like the model for the figure on top. This stuff is gross. She needs to be driven out of the school system altogether.
