Top Library Advocate: Backing Drag Queen Story Hour Supports Parental Choice

The American Library Association, a nonprofit whose stated primary mission over the last century has been advocating for libraries and librarians, is fighting a new bill in Congress that aims to cut off federal funding to schools that promote or provide sexual programming or literature to children.

The ALA on its website even provides “tool kits” on how to fight parents and parent groups trying to end or prevent the drag queens from coming to their schools and offers “resources” and guidance on ways in which libraries can place LGBTQ+ materials into schools throughout the country, even in conservative areas where parents’ groups have vehemently opposed them.

Our local school district held Glitter Day with drag queens for K through 5th graders

These advocates intentionally the concept of “time and place.” Do drag queens have a right to exist? Sure. They can dance up a storm at strip clubs and in drag queen bars all over the country. Do they have a right and should they be in public libraries and in schools? Absolutely not. Unless, of course, they are dressed normally. The world is not obligated to be exposed to a Woke freak show and conversely, the Woke do not have a right to inflict their freak show on the world. These library advocates need to remember that - they are advocating for libraries, not drag queen freak shows.

Message: The American Library Association, a nonprofit whose stated primary mission over the last century has been advocating for libraries and librarians, is demonizing parents——fighting a Congressional bill that aims to cut off federal funding to schools that promote or provide sexual programming or literature to children.

The A/L/A website even provides “tool kits” on how to fight parents and parent groups trying to end or prevent the drag queens from coming to their schools and offers “resources” and guidance on ways in which libraries can place LGBTQ+ materials into schools throughout the country, even in conservative areas where parents’ groups have vehemently opposed them. One local school district held “Glitter Day with drag queens” for K through 5th graders

And your response to this was?

[gibsonguy]

The ALA is controlled by some of the most radical leftists in the country. Very bad and it has been that way for years.

[artichokegrower]

Same response we had when our local library held Why You Should Care About Gender Affirming Care conference.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And that was?

[fwdude]

These reprobates are for parental choice as long as that choice is for drag queen perversion.

Drag queens are a parody of women. And the Lefty feminists are silent by political intimidation.

Library Associations are largely communist.

[napscoordinator]

I chocked when I read nonpartisan. They are very lefty. Possibly moreso than planned parenthood believe or not.
