Defining Terms

Brian Doyle, The Daily Declaration

By Gretchen Garrity

The next time local activists spout off about free speech at the library, share this story with them. From the article,"A Western Australian library worker who refused to undergo mandatory 'diversity' training promoting transgender ideology is now taking legal action, after being forced from his job after 15 years of faithful service.

Declan Mansfield, a former employee of the City of Armadale library in Perth’s southeast, said he was pressured to resign after opting out of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course that, he believed, embedded transgender ideology in the workplace.

'There should be no ideological litmus test that employees in either the public or private sectors should have to pass to gain and retain employment,' Declan told The Daily Declaration.

'This should be especially so in libraries, which rely at their ideological core on the notion of freedom of speech.'"

It would be a terrible pity to find out that such things happen to library staff here in the USA. Another reason the ALA is wholly unsuited to be an authoritative voice for libraries. Like all ideologues who oppose traditional values like parents' rights, the ALA changes the meanings of words to suit their revolutionary agenda. "Equity of access" is just another meaning for forced outcomes.

While the ALA states they are in favor of access of ALL library materials for ALL AGES, what they really mean is they want the power to force your children to be indoctrinated with DEI, CRT, Transgender ideology and so on. They call it "freedom of speech," but it's really freedom to brainwash and demoralize your children.

Some books should be relocated and restricted from children, who do not have the emotional and intellectual development to effectively process certain topics. Parents have the authority to choose sexually charged and ideologically-driven books for their children, but not to force other parents' children to be exposed to them willy-nilly on a library shelf. That's just common sense. It has nothing to do with free speech. But the case below--now that's about free speech:

The Big Lie

"Gender is assigned at birth." That's what we're told.

But then there's this:

This is what "gender affirming care" looks like. They remove tissue from the arm to create a Frankenstein like appendage for female to male transition.

Complication rate is 100% for these surgeries. Regret rate will approach 100%.

 There's still lots of books pitching this crap in our Christian County Library.

"The wholesale betrayal..."

 

Ultimately, the acceptance of the core precepts of transgenderism by the West will he seen, not as a pinnacle of progressivism (as its adherents believe) but as the clearest indicator that these Governments and societies had failed.

They Just Keep Showing Up In our Library

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.

Good Riddance!

 Burrell Behavioral Health, which has a large presence in Missouri, used to reference the Trevor Project as a resource. They've scrubbed any connection. That was smart of them. ;-)
