BACKGROUND HERE:

"Roxbury, NJ parents, Kristen Cobo and Christina Balestriere stood up when the Roxbury school library began promoting sexually explicit books to children.

After becoming aware of a multitude of sexually explicit, vulgar books available to minor children in their public school district, these parents followed the appropriate steps to address their concerns. After speaking with the librarian and district administration proved to be ineffective, these mothers began speaking at Roxbury Board of Education meetings regarding their concerns; providing evidence as to why these books are inappropriate and pose a risk to the safety of minors. 

In response to the concerns raised by these parents, the school librarian doubled down and promoted these books, tweeting from the Roxbury Media’s page about “banned books week”, encouraging students to read these books.

When Kristen and Christina continued to speak up at school board meetings to exercise their First Amendment Right to petition to government at a public forum, the school librarian sued.  The librarian's husband is an attorney, so she is not paying legal fees.  This frivolous lawsuit is a transparent attempt to silence parents who stand up to question whether books with graphic sexual content should be promoted for reading by children."

Excellent discussion about school and public libraries.

The Battle Continues

Ray's Bookshop

By Gretchen Garrity

Lest we forget, there are hundreds of books in our library's children's sections that are age-inappropriate, pervasively vulgar, sexually explicit and of no redeeming value. The books noted below include themes of demonology, black magic, as well as sexual depravity. There is also a video review:

 

 

 

 

The reviewer, asks the question: Who is responsible for approving and placing these books in the library?

Is murder, rape, animal cruelty, sexual bondage and black magic the VALUES we desire to pass along to our children in Christian County? These books are placed in the teen section (ages 12-17) in the Ozark and Nixa branches. Again, if you have not seen the interview below with Sam Shoemate and Dan Kleinman, I urge you to watch it. It explains the political landscape in our libraries and why books such as the ones above are purposely placed in them.
