Americans are fed up with public and school libraries that promote the early sexualization of children. There are a plethora of books in our public institutions that push gender ideology and the LGBTQ+ agenda from toddlers up through high school. The American Library Association (ALA) and its chapters around the nation are actively supporting and pushing these subversive political agendas, and have been for years.
Citizens are pushing back. Through exposing the political rot and the smut, they've been able to take back their school and library boards. It's an uphill battle, but places like Wyoming and Montana are hope-filled victories.
Dan Kleinman, of Safe Libraries, has paved the way for local citizens to take back their schools and libraries. And, as a counter to the ALA, Kleinman has founded the World Library Association.
According to a press release, "The WLA will foster safe environments for librarians, curate valuable reading materials for children, and maintain a public space that promotes information literacy and political neutrality. It will also provide a comprehensive database of laws and legal cases pertinent to libraries, with a focus on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The WLA will stand with parents in legal battles for defending their children in school libraries, offering financial support and active assistance.
The WLA is more than a new library association; it's a promise of a brighter future for libraries
across the nation. We're raising hopes, providing free memberships, trainings, and sample
policies that benefit communities nationwide."
The Daily Caller has taken note of the new organization. In the article, Kleinman states, “School policies right now recommend, basically that anything goes and that it’s literally age discrimination to keep a child from any material,” Kleinman told the DCNF. “New policy guidance from the World Library Association is going to recommend that schools follow laws or case laws like Board of Education vs. Pico, a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court case that allows schools to remove educationally unsuitable and pervasively vulgar materials and to do so immediately. So schools now can have books that are for children that comply with common sense, the law and community standards, instead of what’s going on in the news right now.”
The ALA is the head of the snake when it comes to the indoctrination of librarians around the nation. A constant stream of seminars, articles, and resources pour forth into the email boxes of teachers and librarians on a daily basis. A lot of it concentrates on LGBTQ+, gender ideology, Critical Race Theory (CRT), Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI).
Through a highly developed web of associated organizations, not least of which are the state chapters like the Missouri Library Association (MLA), librarians are trained in how to implement programs that push a political agenda often having little to do with a local community. The ALA runs a top-down organization, which means your local library is unduly influenced by a political agenda that is most likely the antithesis of the community's culture and values.
Barely out of the gates, activist librarians and their supporters are already attacking the WLA. In this article, which tries to sell the narrative that citizens who want to restrict books according to age are evil book banners, we see lawfare implemented. The political extremists are going to fight hard to keep that smut in front of children. They will attack parents and citizens who merely seek to prevent the sexualization of children at schools and libraries.
The Connecticut Centinal has this to say about the new WLA: "Library watchdog Dan Kleinman has just launched the much-needed World Library Association (WLA) to compete with the Marxist-led American Library Association (ALA), which has come under fire most recently for a potential First Amendment violation over its attempt to silence Brave Books, while at the same time promoting highly sexualized "Drag Queen Story Hours" at public libraries across the country."
BizPac Review has also covered the new WLA.
By providing an alternative to extremist organizations like the ALA, the World Library Association will help local libraries and schools to establish local control. You can follow the WLA on Twitter, and here at Dan Kleinman's Twitter, as well as the WLA website.
