Public librarians love “banned books.” They can pimp them to the public and use them as a prop against their political enemies, who of course are usually conservatives. Many of these books are innocuous and make the public gasp, “How could this book have been banned?” A lot of times they were never banned, only challenged. But that doesn’t matter to the ALA [American Library Association] or the library community at large. As long as they can take the moral high ground and maintain power over the collection meant for the public, it’s all good.
Librarians know “banned books” get traction with the public. If not in the local area then anywhere they can promote the outrage. It can be beneficial to a librarian’s career to fight the good fight on the supposed behalf of the community. They can enhance the woke Marxist agenda of the local school or run a program intended to indoctrinate children into becoming Queer and receive hi-fives, ball gags, and job offers.
Often the library board is left hanging when a controversial book appears on the shelf. They get calls, e-mails, texts, letters, smoke signals, and severed animal heads accompanied by “How could you?”, “Groomer!” and “I demand your resignation!” or “Way to go!”, “Could you start a program teaching kids how to give bjs with bananas?”, which is far worse.
Sometimes the librarian is an honest person who orders whatever ALA or Amazon recommends. Which can be a set up in itself. But there are plenty of willing librarians ready to take up the noble cause of depravity.
This is a scenario that happened in my state and may be the most common way books get the “banned” designation these days. The director, likely having attended a liberal to communist-leaning university to receive his or her BA, MLA or MLIS, feels strongly that 4 year old children should be taught rimming (tongue on booty hole) because the oppressive parent is a heteronormative racist white supremacist Nazi and every child should know the pleasures of bung munching. In these scenarios there is usually a communist oppressor/oppressed dynamic pitting child vs. parent and promoting equal standing between other adults and the child. Grooming essentially. The library orders the book “Butt Sushi” to enhance the children’s collection so the kids can begin tossing salads when some creeper adult or brainwashed child needs a cleaning.
The director knows damn well that this book is going to catch hell from someone in the community. But they KNOW what’s good for the patrons and they have the authority to order what they deem fit.
The director is also aware that whatever the political make-up of the board is they win in every scenario. All leftists on the board = win. Split = play them off each other. Opposed = martyr. They can’t lose and the board takes the hit. The director gains status with someone somewhere. Many times resulting in the more lucrative job they had in mind when they started twisting minds down. The community has successfully been agitated by a likely Caldecott winner and is left with dissension in the director’s wake.
There are ways to prevent this subversive attack by an ideologue librarian. Go to the board meetings. Attend the programs. Browse the online services. Actually joining your local public library board is the best option. Maintain control of your local library. If people check out on their civic duty, expect that the Children’s Animal S3x dictionary might pop up on the shelf.
Board members should do regular performance reviews. Audit the collection. Document everything that might need to be addressed. Most importantly, engage the public. Make sure the board meetings are correctly posted. Post the agenda in several places. Make sure it is available online. Agendas can easily be obscured by surreptitiously posting them behind other information or in poor locations. They may be posted late or not at all. If a director can keep the public away from the meetings it gives the impression to the board that everything is AOK. A director can and will plaster the community with the agenda if there is a conflict they can manipulate to promote an ideology or angle for a better job.
In Nochomo, USA, the board gets burned and are stuck talking anus to irate patrons and community members. Generally, a board should be supportive of the director and his or her decisions, even when a decision isn’t popular. But in an egregious situation that in my opinion is any children’s book that looks at a simple topic “through the lens of race” or a book based on Queer Theory that looks at a topic “through the lens of undermining the parents,” discussing s3x in more than scientific terms to inappropriate age groups or basic insanity like encouraging young girls to transition and chop off their breasts is not something a board should support.
This undermining director deserves no backing. Do not make the mistake of engaging the issue in a manner that can set people off. The board in my state took a reactionary stance and put themselves at an immediate disadvantage. Set a special meeting for a Q&A with the director. Promote the hell out of it. Get anyone in the community who is disgusted with the idea of child anal time to come to the meeting. Let the director bathe in the flames. The librarian didn’t discuss an obviously controversial subject with the board beforehand so let the director field questions from the community and risk their own reputation. The director may request help from the state library, the ALA, the ACLU, GLAAD or Groomers R We. Let them. The board should already have connections, at minimum, with a lawyer. Consult with them. Stay within the law.
If the community is hostile to the board, don’t get into a pissing contest. It’s what they want. Ask for some educational material supporting having butthole books on the children’s collection. The director can directly deliver the academic refuse and the board can expose their groomer mentors to the people with decency. Research and out these people who write articles in publications that promote deviant Queer Theory to children. They are often proud to be groomers and are glad to let their minor attracted person flag fly. If the community does indeed support Queering children, have the material on hand that links those people to sick adult behavior. Use media in every possible way. The director and their supporters will be hammering social media on their own behalf. The board should too. Recruit experts. Child psychologists, doctors, victims, police. But vet them carefully. Have them speak against pedophile material in front of the public. Like a disgusting, pus filled Queer wound, apply constant pressure.
On a library board with Queer supporters, pressure them if needed. This butt book is directed at children. Fight hard and fight smart. Never relent.
The director has an emotional stake in the issue as well and that should be kept in mind. They can be broken—which thankfully is what occurred in my state.
Librarians will gang up on the anti-groomer library. They will dissuade people from taking the job opening. Talk trash on the library and the board. Change the job requirements if necessary to broaden the hiring pool. A replacement will eventually show. A director’s job is a rung up the ladder. Even if the community has a limited budget, “director” looks good on a resume. No one is irreplaceable.
Sane society let go of the reins and morality promptly fell in the ditch. The community can’t be left to be run by extremists. Being involved is hard work. But it’s easier than trying to convince your child they aren’t a pans3xual, non-binary, polygamous, Satan worshipping Barbie doll. If someone says I’m full of it for whatever reason, I’m not. I read the internal e-mails. I know what is said when a vile book and an all-knowing librarian are questioned. I sat in a room of 1000 rabid, white, female librarians, Nancy Pelosi and Gloria Steinem. They are determined.
You need to be too.
A fed up, whistleblowing library director revealed the above to me, exactly as shown, with graphics added by me, and minor word respellings to avert the Big Tech censor's eye.
Since my appearance in The New York Post, librarians and library directors have been reaching out to me to publish their stories about the American Library Association. I shall do so anonymously because they all fear ALA. I don't. I hereby give rights to republish this work to anyone who desires.

This is a great piece for The Onion since it’s not rooted in reality
