Our Library is full of Transgender Books for Children

 By Gretchen Garrity

Jamie Reed is an expert who recently testified against the sunset clause on SB 49 (SAFE Act). It was House Speaker Jon Patterson who agreed to the sunset clause on the SAFE Act, which means that mutilations of pediatric patients and puberty blockers can start up again in 2027 if not stopped.

There are dozens of gender ideology books geared toward minors in our Christian County Library. Listen to Reed explain how we've been deceived by the very people who are tasked with caring for the physical and mental health of children. 

There are also large publishing houses in cahoots with organizations like the American Library Association, who push thousands of these books out to local libraries. The ALA trains and offers "accredited" degrees in library science. This is how they continue to influence and indoctrinate librarians to carry out a Marxist agenda in libraries everywhere.

The Christian County Library should not pay for any memberships in the ALA or its state chapter, the MLA, nor fund staff trips to seminars, training, or annual meetings. Today was the MLA's legislative advocacy day in Jefferson City. They are hard leftists. It's all about the money and political clout for them. You'll find nothing in their priorities that speaks to the need for literacy, for protecting children, for providing a community resource for all citizens.

Listen to Jamie:

What Will U-turn in Education Do?

Missouri State University has ended its DEI program. The K-12 schools can't be far behind. The paroxysms of disbelief and dismay can be found HERE. And the original announcement from the Springfield Daily Citizen is HERE.

DEI was always a racism-in-disguise program that has finally been ended by President Trump's administration and state officials who are following his lead. Let's just be clear, in the end this was always about money. As long as the state and federal dollars were flowing toward DEI programs, the university rolled along. 

Here's the money quote from Missouri State President Dr. Richard B. Williams: “As a university, we value diverse thought and actions and support all our students, faculty and staff. However, 38% of our budget comes from the state. For us to continue providing a quality education to our students, we must align with the requirements laid out by state leadership.”

If the university truly believed in DEI programs, wouldn't they take a principled stand and fight, regardless of the dollars? While Missouri State University Prof. Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk, foundress of U-turn in Education has been active in dissenting from MSU's decision, where is the statement from U-turn in Education? Waiting eagerly for their response to MSU's actions.

Prof. Dudash-Buskirk is consistent, at least.

MSU is a publicly-funded educational institution. Perhaps it will keep U-turn in Education busy for a day or two and give citizens a break who are fighting to protect parental rights and children in the Christian County Library, as well as in public school libraries.

Nah. Brace yourselves. :-)
