‘It’s now come to our doorstep’: Librarians find themselves at the center of increasingly bitter culture wars
MSN ^ | 3/3/23 | Brian McQuarrie

FALL RIVER — David Mello leads the children’s section of the 19th-century library in the center of the city, a longtime public servant whose ready smile turns rueful when he recalls the ugly protest on its granite steps late last year.

About 20 neo-Nazis shouted at adults and children as they arrived Dec. 10 for Drag Story Hour, a library event in which volunteers who are dressed in drag read books to children. The readers were denounced as pedophiles. Antisemitic slurs were hurled at an adult there wearing a yarmulke. And protesters flashed the Nazi salute.

“It’s now come to our doorstep,” Mello said. “In a building where everyone should feel comfortable, it saddens you that people have to be worried violent protesters might be outside.”

“About 20 neo-Nazis shouted at adults and children as they arrived Dec. 10 for Drag Story Hour...”
WTF?

A neo-Nazi is anyone that disagrees with the left.

The residents of Sodom and Gomorrah are complaining about the warnings they are getting this time.

I’m so old I remember when the librarians were very uptight and conservative. They were the most difficult people in the community to pass this kind of crap in front of.

Many librarians today are happy to fan the flames of the culture war. Then they can look like heroes online to their leftist buddies.

This is where America is today.

Corporate media propaganda attempting to draw good/evil comparison between drag-queen perversion of children, and Nazis. Its the ultimate of planned and purposeful subversion, agitation, and misdirection.

Are you confused, angry and agitated? Then they have achieved their goal.

“And the percentage of homosexual librarians is off the charts.”

Well-known outside of Massachusetts...

I looked at the library list of some of the books in my local library, Gender Queer, among many other pushing, advocating or approving of the LGB AND the mental diseases of TQIA+ABCDEFGHIGJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ....

Is it civil disobedience to mis-shelve them? I don’t think I could straight up remove them and I am even more sure we would not be able to get them removed from the library. The head librarian is definitely a woke-ster.

Well let’s see...teachers, youth pastors, summer camp counselors, boy scout leaders...I keep thinking there is a common factor here that might include librarians too...

I worked in a library as a student and as a professional for 40 years. I don’t think of myself as a leftist in any way. I worked in a prison library for 7 years (staff, not resident you wags!) and I earned my FR Name. The rest of the time I worked with the public, ran branches, ran a county system (part of a regional) and did other stuff.

I think the main problem is that the same type of leftist who are leading the churches down the same path. They can’t really do the job they applied for (being a librarian) so they go into administration and don’t think of the consequences.

Unfortunately, these same type of people are also teaching the future librarians. You can tell from the products they are putting out.

Glad I retired when I did.

Standard operating procedure for the media. Just label those you want to paint in a bad light, don’t allow them to be represented and report the distortion as fact.

If there WERE any “neo-Nazi’s” they are deliberate plants to smear protesters. Of course we all know the protesters were nothing more than *normal* adults calling out perversion.

The media has no shame.

Most Librarians seem to be some of the most woke leftists in the area where my wife and family still live and our children who are now adults knew that reality.

My wife and I got tired of B$ remarks/snarks from the local librarians re our reading choices.

I have used Kindle since Amazon came out with it and have ordered/bought conservative books for over a decade from Amazon.

My wife has two Kindles, and she reads 5-7 kindle books a week with their Kindle book plan.

Narcissistic people do that and it’s considered to be a form of emotional abuse. It’s all by design to make you feel like you are crazy. Then the flying monkeys will echo what the narcissist said and then claim that not only are you in the wrong but you are crazy. This is being repeated where ever the left want control especially with race issues.

So the cultural war just “came” to their doorsteps.

Had nothing to do with them invite drag queens to do drag queen story hour at all, it just dropped on their door steps

Right.

You posted your reality, and that sick reality thrives in California with the gay librarians.

I worked in MA libraries for a very long time. Librarians, in general, are far Left of Stalin. And the percentage of homosexual librarians is off the charts. These are radical rabble-rousers who would do anything to make Conservatives look bad.

"About 20 neo-Nazis"
