Illinois Passes Bill Protecting Child Sexual Grooming in Public and School Libraries

With the passage of House Bill 2789, Illinois has adopted the “American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights that indicates materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.” In short, any library that refuses to make pornographic materials available to children will lose state funding.

As more and more parents and communities have begun paying attention to the “grooming” nature of LGBTQ books and other materials available to minors in school and public libraries, many of those parents and communities have pushed back against such grooming. In fact in towns, cities, counties, and states across America, policies, ordinances, and laws are being passed to protect children. But in contrast to good pushing back in those places, evil appears to be pushing forward in other places. And Illinois — famous for liberal policies that seem to constantly bring cities such as Chicago to the brink of the abyss — is perhaps the most determined place so far.

As LifeSiteNews reports:

While other states work to remove pornographic content from public schools and children’s library access, Illinois is moving in the opposite direction, with a new law that will penalize schools for not allowing children unfettered access to such material.

HB 2789 “adopt[s] the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights that indicates materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval or, in the alternative, develop a written statement declaring the inherent authority of the library or library system to” assemble a diverse collection of material and “prohibit the practice of banning specific books or resources.”

Any library or library system that fails to adopt the ALA bill of rights or adopt an equivalent policy against the removal of materials will be ineligible for state grants under...

So, are these books on the shelves, where just anyone can come in and look at them? Or tear pages out? Or just drop them in the trash?

Given that we live in the Golden Age of Anarcho-Tyranny, that would probably be a capital offense.

They will keep doing this because they receive zero consequences for doing it.
If anyone really cared, some of those evil people would not be showing up for work on Monday. It ain’t the way things should be done, but I am afraid they are leaving no choice. Are we going to turn the nation over to deviant queers?

The moral corruption of this country continues to create new lows.

Illinois library, where you’ll see the following in the Children’s section: Heather has two mommies, Playgirl, XY magazine (a gay youth magazine), books you should only see at the adult book store in the seediest red light district. How sad!!

Flee Illinois, the Kiddie Mutalations and far worse is coming. Not only are the Illinois schools brokers for gender surgeries but now the libraries will have materials to promote them as well.

Surprise, Surprise. /Naught.

Another Democratic state headed for Oblivion.

Hey! Obsolete library turd rollers. What about humanitarian disapproval? Does that count?

CAUTION, Shocking content:

With the internet and free Obama phones, does anyone know why we still pay tax money for “free” public libraries?

WHEN DEMOCRATS RULE

Any library that refuses to make pornographic materials available to children will lose state funding.

It is because of nonsense like this that I do not work in the field (I have a master’s degree in library science); the ALA leadership, it seems, has been handed over to a reprobate mind.
