From: WLA, an alternative to the ALA
By Gretchen Garrity
Taxpayers--citizens of Christian County--are unknowingly funding the American Library Association's advocacy for overthrowing our nation. Our local library, the Christian County Library, has sent Executive Director Renee Brumett, to an Ohio ALA conference this week that...well, let them speak for themselves.
Dan Kleinman of the World Library Association details the facts. I've drawn shamelessly from his article. Read his article (and do read the whole thing, there's lots of similar quotes from the main speakers):
"So the "Big Ideas" for public librarians to learn on the public's dime
are anticapitalism, with a side helping of racism and hate. This is
what librarians are learning as Big Ideas to kick off their day at an
ALA conference with an inspiring speaker sure to challenge their minds
and spark their creativity. Then they come back to the local
communities and implement the anticapitalism and racism and hate they
just learned. All taxpayer funded. All of it. Memberships,
conferences, travel, meals, incidentals, all of it."
The PLA, Public Library Association, IS the ALA.
Now do you see why citizens have been petitioning the CCL for over a year to no avail? When your librarians and a majority of board members are activists, courtesy of the Marxist ALA, you will get nowhere with an appeal to decency, child protection, and community values.
When the library budgets $30,000 for staff and board travel, not to mention thousands for "training" and whatever else they have stuffed into the budget under innocuous sounding categories, it's time for a review.
And it is long past time for the CCL to sever any and all ties with the American Library Association and its chapter member, The Missouri Library Association. There are alternatives to the Marxist ALA such as Kleinman's WLA.
