Beware of the Wolf

Little Red Riding Hood

 Dan Kleinman of the World Library Association explains that the ALA and some activist librarians make much ado about nothing when it comes to "book bans." Also, notice what former librarian Kelly Jensen, who writes for Book Riot, says in her article on the anniversary of the children's book And Tango Makes Three: "And Tango Makes Three is a powerful work of children’s nonfiction. It presents young people the factual reality that heterosexuality is not nature’s de facto setting..."

In her article, Jensen notes that there are other same-sex couples among the zoo's penguins. I wonder if confinement within the zoo setting has anything to do with animal behavior...

And Tango Makes Three is shelved in both the Ozark and Nixa children's section of the library. It is one of the more tame indoctrination books for children, but the intent is there. Jensen's article highlights it: heterosexuality is not the actual normative state of nature (which necessarily includes humans).

There is a highly organized top down movement that includes nations, international organizations, state and local groups, and uber-wealthy ideologues that are attempting to move humanity off of foundational objective truths. Why?

All the better to control you with, dearie, says the wolf.

It's Columbus Day!

 


The Christian County Library is closed because it's a "Staff Training Day." Don't the employees get the federal holiday off? A keyword search of "Christopher Columbus" in the Coolcat Catalog is interesting. Here is a decent book for kids: Columbus Day. Another one HERE. It describes Columbus as "neither as hero nor heel but as a flawed and complex man whose significance is undeniably monumental." Here's a lovely entry: Kill Columbus, in which time travelers seek to go back in time and kill the explorer before he can discover the new world. Sigh. Slim pickings for children.

According to National Days Blog: "Columbus Day, observed on the second Monday of October, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas on October 1292. In 2024, Columbus Day falls on October 14th. It is a reminder of the spirit of exploration, the quest for new horizons, and the courage to venture into the unknown. This day not only honours Columbus’s achievements but also invites us to reflect on the historical implications of his voyages."

Columbus Day Wishes 

 

 

This is how the Christian County Library cancels the federal holiday of Columbus Day. The new holiday is "Staff Training Day." From the handbook:
