RE: Antifa Clashes With Protesters Over 5 Year Olds Having Access To Sexualized Books In Kindergarten!!!

in News & Views2 years ago

I can't watch a 20-minute video right now due to bandwidth issues, but I am a librarian. My district has been targeted by protesters who insist we are corrupting the youth with sensational claims we are pushing sexuality and transgenderism on kids. This is objectively false. We also have left-wing censors demanding we remove anything they deem even remotely insensitive. The same overblown rhetoric is used by all sides to demand removal of materials people seem to have not read at all. It is frustrating to see ignorance on display when libraries strive to serve everyone. We have Johnny the Walrus. We also have the recent books with "non-binary" protagonists. The thing is, if protesters would STFU, the Streisand effect wouldn't kick in and keep these items circulating. I suspect the LGBTQetc. materials would not get borrowed and eventually be seeded from the collection, but the attention brought by puritanical control freaks keeps them in the spotlight.
