From the Pit of Hell

 

IT'S ALL CONNECTED...

In another tweet on the same subject, Wright said, "The central theme of the paper is "pleasure." This aligns with trends in international sex education policy, particularly the International Planned Parenthood Federation's Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) program, which explicitly shifted away from sex education centered around reproduction and toward what it calls 'sexual expression, sexual fulfillment, and pleasure.' Pleasure is one of seven core elements of CSE. Its Youth Policy, applying to 'all young people irrespective of their age,' [bolded] declares a 'right to pleasure' and 'the right of all young people to enjoy sex and express their sexuality in the way that they choose.'"

And, for all those who were at the Christian County Library Board Meeting last night, and might not have a full picture of what the American Library Association is promoting for children in their "Library Bill of Rights" (LBOR):

"Access to Library Resources and Services for Minors: Library policies and procedures that effectively deny minors equal and equitable access to all library resources available to other users violate the Library Bill of Rights. The American Library Association opposes all attempts to restrict access to library services, materials, and facilities based on the age of library users. [Bolded] Amended 2025" (Interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights)

And further:

"All people, of all ages, should have equal and equitable access to all library resources and services. The American Library Association (ALA) opposes any efforts to restrict access based on age. Policies and procedures that prevent minors1 from accessing the same resources and services as adults violate the ALA’s Library Bill of Rights. [Bolded] Libraries and their governing bodies should not use age as a reason to avoid potential objections. Not acquiring materials because minors might access them reduces the credibility of the library and limits access for everyone.

Article V of the Library Bill of Rights states, “A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, [Bolded] background, or views.” The right to use a library means that people should have free access to all services, materials, and facilities and unrestricted use of everything the library offers. Any restriction based solely on the following criteria violates Article V:

  • age;
  • apparent maturity;
  • educational level;
  • literacy skills; or
  • legal status.

Further violations of Article V include setting limits on:

  • how old someone must be to get a library card;
  • demonstrated skills or abilities required to get a library card (like signing their name);
  • requiring parental/guardian permission to get a card for anyone old enough to be in the library without parental/guardian supervision;
  • how many or what kinds of items minors can check out compared to adults, or;
  • creating trial periods for library use based on age.

Violations to Article V also include restricting access for minors who don’t have a parent or guardian available to sign a library card application or permission slip, who can’t provide legal ID to verify their name or address, or who can’t visit a library in person." (Access to Library Resources and Services for Minors: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights)

Can you see how children are being made into objects of mere sex and pleasure? This goes against everything that is good and decent. It is designed to dehumanize and demoralize your children. And there were retired teachers, a therapist, and a university professor who opposed the vote last night to remove reference to the ALA's LBOR from the policy handbook. There are HUNDREDS of age-inappropriate and sexually explicit books in our libraries--all shelved in the children's and teens' sections. It isn't just a about a book with two male penguins who raise an egg. It is so much bigger and darker. The opposition seeks to hide the truth.

Please support the efforts of the community to make libraries safe for children. One thing you can do right now, is to send the new executive director an email in support of the Library's direction to make that happen: wblydenburgh@christiancountylibrary.org. The support from the community has been unfailing, and is much appreciated. More than anything, your prayers are needed and gratefully received.
