Facebook just removed my First Amendment attorney's page—and censored a post I made about my ongoing lawsuit against Louisiana school librarian Amanda Jones.
Within seconds of posting, this comment was taken down:
Everyone, this is just a small taste of the harassment parents get when they dare challenge American Library Association's massive ability to infiltrate schools with policy that breaks state and local law and instead eliminates parental control. Jessica Viotta allowed that, by the way.
Those wishing to read my attorney's legal documents defending my rights to point out how school librarians harm children, please see https://randazza.com/lawsuits/jones-v-kleinman/
Facebook flagged the post almost instantly, claiming: "The content may contain nudity or sexual activity. This goes against our Community Standards."
The offending part? The **link** to my attorney's public lawsuit page on randazza.com.
I was allowed to repost only after removing "/jones-v-kleinman/" from the URL.
Incredibly, books with explicit instructions on adult sex toys and acts are deemed suitable for school libraries by ALA advocates—but linking to a First Amendment defense attorney's webpage about the resulting lawsuit is too "offensive" for Facebook.
This highlights a broader issue: To effectively discuss age-appropriate library materials nationwide, parents must be able to share specific evidence from challenged books. Generalities like "inappropriate content" don't convey the concern. That's why tools like Rated Books provide detailed excerpts and ratings—while the ALA's "Book Résumés" often omit graphic details to downplay objections.
I've appealed Facebook's decision. We'll see if they restore the full link.
