We recently had a similar situation in my area…some ignorant ‘Christian Mom’ and her posse went to a local school board meeting and did the exact same thing, but she included any member or supporter of the LGBTQ+ community in her defamatory rant. Thankfully, the board members took the time to carefully evaluate her comments and asked the right questions:

• How did you find out about these books?
• Have you read these books?
• Why should we remove these books from the school library?

The answers are always ‘online’, ‘no’, and, if it’s more than just a blank stare, a word salad of bad and grooming etc.

The board pointed out that parents had the ability to restrict what books their children were allowed to read within the school library system, and that was that. No banning allowed.

But they keep trying, and the next step is to get someone with similar ‘values’ on the school board. And THAT is why it’s so important to pay attention to your local elections and VOTE.

These fucks are the weeds and you, friends, need to make sure you they have no place to grow.

This is something only someone named “Van de Klomp” could make
