Hick Christian Weighs in on WAC

The Exorcism - Folio 166r from Très Riches Heures
An exorcism from Très Riches Heures (1412-16)

 David Rice of Hick Christian comments on the ever-evolving accusations from the WAC blog. "Criminal intent" and "embezzlement" did not work out, so now they have moved on to other accusations. Read Rice's article HERE. A snippet:

"'We Are Concerned' wants taxpayers to believe that legal expenses are evidence of wrongdoing by the current board. The opposite is true. These expenses represent the cost of cleaning up years of institutional dysfunction created by board members who prioritized social approval over statutory responsibilities.

The current board could have chosen the easier path—continuing to let staff operate without oversight while collecting praise from progressive activists. Instead, they chose accountability, transparency, and legal compliance. That choice has a price, but it's a price previous board members forced on taxpayers by allowing the system to operate outside proper governance for years."

It isn't just the Christian County Library District that was ensnared in a system that allows for administrative government employees to govern rather than those publicly elected/appointed. This problem is in your school districts, your planning and zoning boards, your health boards, etc.

Allowing NGOs (non-governmental organizations) like the ALA and the MLA to determine policies and rules, to lobby our legislators, and to train our librarians means our taxpayer-funded entities have given up governance By the People. It is essentially Government by NGO.

Like a medieval exorcism, this usurping system is not going easily. Kicking, screaming, howling--it still must go.

Exposing the NGO Web in Christian County


David Rice has published four articles on his Substack Hick Christian in the last few days, which expose how Non-governmental Organizations like the American Library Association exercise influence over policies in the library through local NGOs. There is a system to how NGOs influence government entities. Besides their legal structure, the people who serve on these boards are often professionally and personally connected to those who work at the government entity. Essentially, the same people who are politically connected, also sit on these not-for-profit boards, helping to direct and implement policies that may or may not align with the voting public.

George Carlin's now famous line, "It's a big club and you ain't in it" serves here.
