A Soul of Ash and Blood is shelved in the Clever "Fantasy Section" of the Christian County Library. This book is considered a "Young Adult" book, aka it is written for teens 12-17.

When Marxists/Socialists/Communists say they want to destroy capitalism & private property ownership, PARENTS need to understand that INCLUDES PARENTAL RIGHTS! EVERYONE needs to be paying attention, because Marxists are working hard to fundamentally change the USA. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/gWZuFqTdge

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.

If you know someone who needs to get up to speed quickly on why our library battle is so important, send them this video. He explains it all. A great primer.
Episode 5: Unmasking Marxism in Our Public Libraries
On this episode of Our Country Our Voice, Dan Kleinman discuss the alarming infiltration of Marxist ideology in the American education system, particularly through public libraries.
Queering is how Marxists subvert our culture, indeed, our identities. That's why it's so important for the American Library Association and its allies to inject queerness into our institutions. It's a sustained action to overturn the political system of our nation, and so many people are asleep to this truth.
"According to James Lindsay, "Queer Theory is Queer Marxism, which is a Marxist Theory about a
form of sociocultural “property” called “normalcy,” “normality,” or
“normativity,” that it believes to have been unjustly created and in
need of destruction and total abolition. As such, it’s incredibly
dangerous and destructive, particularly on the formative and
impressionable psychologies of children, whom it targets in particular,
often directly through our schools and children’s entertainment
programming."

David Rice does a great job of exposing the worldview of Nixa School Board candidate Megan Deal, who recently spoke at a local meeting. It is vitally important to understand where candidates are coming from.
They can say many right things, they can be Christians, they can be articulate and pleasant. But if their basic understanding of the world is not in line with your values as a voter, you have a decision to make.
In order to really get at their true opinions, you have to spend time digging. Rice does that. He's showing the reader what the press will not--the truth.
From his article:
"[Megan Deal] spoke alongside other school board candidates and she
talked about the emotional and mental health needs of the students who
are being overlooked by the system. In other words, she claimed she was
looking for the marginalized children in schools.
She
seems to be focused on her narrowly focused project of finding the
students during relaxed times at school (like lunch or transitioning
from classroom to classroom). She thinks the board should be there
speaking to the students during those periods and learning from the
overlooked (marginalized) students.
She also spoke about being like Aaron to Moses, trying to lean on her Christian background for her candidacy. She referenced Exodus 17:12-13,
when Aaron and Hur lifted Moses’ arms so that God’s power could still
work through him. She described the school board trustees as the Aaron
to the Superintendent’s Moses."
James Lindsay explains how Marxists take over organizations and transform them, cutting you the citizen out of any say in how your local libraries or schools are run.
Here's a link to the book he recommends. Charles Pincourt, who authored the book with Lindsay, says this about his book Counter Wokecraft:
"The second part of the book analyzes the collection of principles,
strategies, and tactics used by the Woke to entrench their
perspective—in other words, wokecraft. The success of the Woke relies
primarily on three things: First is the weaponization of
positive-sounding, commonly understood words that have double meanings,
or Woke Crossover Words. These words (e.g., critical, diversity,
inclusion) are brandished like Improvised Explosive Devices. They are
slipped into documents and decisions, justified by their commonly held
meanings, but are later used to justify Woke interventions based on
their radical Woke meaning. Second, there is a general insistence on
informality, which is then exploited to manipulate decision-making by
preventing, for example, secret ballot voting. Third, there are a number
of woke bullying tactics that are used to prevent people from resisting
Woke advances. These range from coercion through consensus to
cancel-culture attacks. Together, these tactics are used to exaggerate
support for, and quell dissent against, Woke advances."
According to Pincourt, the latter part of the book teaches readers how to counter the revolution. "The first column seeks to sow doubt in participants about the Woke
perspective, particularly its prescriptions. The second involves
amplifying and enabling dissenting opinions, while at the same time
instituting the formalization of decision-making processes that allow
all participants to voice their opinions."
Wouldn't it be nice if school boards and library boards actually gave citizens more than three minutes to expound (five minutes would be helpful), and then actually responded to them? Instead, they use wokecraft to shut down a free exchange of ideas, and steal citizens' recourse to public dialog with public servants.
The video is only 20 minutes long. Well worth viewing.
