They Just Keep Showing Up In our Library

It's gaslighting to tell you that books and films like the ones below are appropriate for minors and even very young children, that some children "need to see themselves" in the library, or that children have a right to read these books. Each of these materials are in our library system in Christian County.

It's gaslighting to tell citizens that First Amendment rights extend to minors. No, children do not have a right to view books that their parents deem inappropriate or harmful.

These books are widely available elsewhere and may even be checked out via the inter-library loan system if a parent so desires. They can be shelved in areas that allow parents to check them out, but are not waiting on a shelf for children whose parents do not want them exposed to such materials.

Parents have a right to curate what their children are exposed to in publicly-funded libraries. And it is not feasible to expect parents to hover over their children and pre-read every book that is picked up. It is common sense to abide by community standards that allow every child to feel welcome and safe in a library. A public library's children's section should be a place that parents can trust, and not a minefield of materials that can harm their kids.

The persistent agenda to expose children to sexually inappropriate materials has its roots in overturning our political system. Revolutionary organizations like the Marxist ALA seek to de-moralize the populace to make it easier to destroy families, cultures, and nations. Do not let them get away with it.

Believe it or not, by fighting back against this pernicious agenda, Americans are engaging in a key battle to restore our communities. Our children, our families and our libraries are worth fighting for.


 

 A Court of Frost and Starlight is in the Nixa and Ozark "Fantasy Sections" of the library. Hmmm....is that adult or teen or what?


 

The film version of Call Me By Your Name is in the Nixa branch


 

Fred Gets Dressed is a book geared toward 3-6 year olds. It is in the Ozark branch of our library.
