A stupid book. And most libraries I’ll bet bought it as a result of a recommendation, not because they actually read it. So rather than spend countless hours trying to have it removed, how about a direct approach? Some patriot checks it out and fails to return it. They then pay for the book. The schools for the most part aren’t interested in the fight so they’ll just use the money to buy something else.
I wouldn’t even do that.
I would just take the book off the shelf, go in the bathroom, and after soaking the book with toilet water, throw it in the trashcan.
Just in case someone finds it and fishes it out.
I’ll bet most libraries bought it as a result of a recommendation, not because they actually read it.
NORTH AMERICAN MAN/BOY LOVE ASSOCIATION (NAMBLA)
Among LGBT groups, few can claim the degree of name recognition accorded to the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). Founded in 1978, NAMBLA has been among the most controversial groups in LGBT history. The group was initially inspired by the work of the Boston/Boise Committee, which formed in 1977 to defend a group of men indicted for running a boy prostitution ring based in Massachusetts.
NAMBLA members have not been secretive about their beliefs and practices. On the contrary, the group maintains a formidable list of publications, available in many bookstores and libraries.
The Harvard University Library, as well as several other prominent repositories, carry runs of the group’s publications, including NAMBLA News, NAMBLA Bulletin, NAMBLA Journal, and Gayme.
A series called NAMBLA Topics addresses mostly legal issues, although number 4 is called Boys Speak Out on Man/Boy Love (1986); number 5 offers an anthology, Poems of Love and Liberation (1996); and number 8 (1998) carries a short story, “Voodoo,” by Ken Esser. The group also published A Witchhunt Foiled: The FBI vs. NAMBLA (1985). Nor has NAMBLA shied away from appropriate public venues, including LGBT pride parades, radio and television programs, and protest marches.
