Audiotape of St. Tammany Parish Republican Pol Proves Perilous; Trump and Christians Attacked, P-rn Promoted, ALA Protected - CENSORED BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY

In breaking news, here is a transcript of, and audio recording by, former St. Tammany Parish Library Board of Control member William (Bill) R. McHugh, III, speaking with St. Tammany Parish Council District 13 Councilman Jeff Corbin, pictured top right.  This recording was intended for use in a lawsuit Mr. McHugh just lost big as described here:
The recording was discussed in local media here:
And here is the telephone conversation and its politically-charged nature discussed by Citizens for a New Louisiana on 19 November 2024:




My personal favorite parts of the conversation are where they talk about a law defunding the American Library Association.  Love that!  And it's going to happen more and more now that the US Department of Education exposed the "book ban" hoax and DEI is dead.  And they tell themselves they aren't "gr[00]ming" children.  We all wish it were that simple.

Now, below is the transcript and here is the transcript and full recording synched together for your listening and re-listening pleasure: TRANSCRIPT AND RECORDING BY BILL McHUGH OF JEFF CORBIN HERE [CENSORED PER ORDER OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT, WASHINGTON — ST. TAMMANY PARISHES, CIVIL DIVISION, 214954 KOOP DR, 2G, MANDEVILLE LA 70471]. 

It's very rare to see a politician, Republican, no less, and a library board member so interested in keeping kids exposed to inappropriate material that they feel people must serve on and stay on library boards to keep out the Christians and the Trump supporters who oppose harming children per American Library Association's 60 years of effort.  But there it is, res ipsa loquitur.  

It happens all the time, it's just rare that it got recorded, reported, and we get to see it.  Sad.  Were I residing there, I know for whom I wouldn't vote, nor for any of their supporters or supporting library "alliances," especially not the one ALA created.

NOTE ADDED 5 MARCH 2025:

Apparently I'm such a good investigative reporter that I have been ordered to censor my report.  So I did.  

Once ALA wanted me to remove something I published, but I didn't, so go read what Chicago's ALA wanted censored and doesn't want you to read:
This time the censorship request comes from a legitimate source and for a legitimate-sounding reason, as opposed to ALA trying to hide its own internalized homophobia, that is still has, by the way.  I don't believe I've distributed this material past an email or so to governmental leaders in the Parishes and this publication, and I'm deleting the text and any associated links from this post.  I will not provide the transcript/audio to anyone even if asked.  I'm aiming to fully comply with the cease and desist letter posted below. And I wish all parties and all sides well.

CENSORED PER ORDER OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT, WASHINGTON — ST. TAMMANY PARISHES, CIVIL DIVISION, 214954 KOOP DR, 2G, MANDEVILLE LA 70471

Given the following, I'll be publishing the censorship order in full: "Any e-mail may be construed as a public document, and may be subject to a public records request.  The contents of this e-mail reflect the opinion of the writer, and are not necessarily the opinion or policy of the 22nd Judicial District Attorney’s Office or St. Tammany Parish Government."


Cease and Desist Letter

ALA Loses in Louisiana US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit: Parr v Cougle

American Library Association has lost another case in the courts, this time in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit:
Yes, ALA was not directly involved.  But the local group that sued or was supporting the plaintiffs was stood up by ALA, something I've proven and reported, and ALA created hundreds of local groups to sue in this fashion:
Here are choice quotes from the Parr v. Cougle case:
Their substantive-due-process claim is based upon alleged reputational injuries they suffered because of “false  charges” that “they are liberal, activist, members of a political conspiracy to s[*]xualize children.”  But Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries are insufficient to establish standing because (A) their speech-related injuries are not particularized and (B) their reputational injuries are neither fairly traceable to Defendants’ conduct nor redressable by a favorable decision. 
.... 
Plaintiffs attempt to draw a distinction, arguing that they suffered these injuries in their personal capacities, not as Board members.  But any distinction here is too faint to make a difference.  Indeed, the Article III question whether Plaintiffs have suffered a “particularized” injury necessarily precedes any First Amendment issue raised by Plaintiffs.  

....

At its core, this case is not about viewpoint discrimination, free speech, retaliation, or substantive due process.  Plaintiffs lost their Board positions and thereby lost the power to wield the levers of influence over St. Tammany’s libraries—and they want that control back.  But rather than pursue that aim through the political process, they have “dragged that fight into federal court by tricking it out in [constitutional] colors.”  Jones, 121 F.4th at 537 (citation and quotation marks omitted). 
Here's my take.  People who follow ALA advice and create a local group to say and do what ALA wants get burned in the end, so why expose yourselves to this?  ALA's biggest loss was United States v. American Library Association that allowed libraries to use Internet filtering software.  ALA sought to allow children unfettered access.  ALA lost $1.5M in that fruitless effort.  

ALA lost against me when it had some library employee sue me for defamation ten years ago and lost, twice.  She ultimately lost her beloved job at her library since they lost confidence in her, besides her homophobia that ALA funded and promoted.  ALA even helped fund raise for her.  Meanwhile, she was photographed vacationing in Florida with her family at a beach, so she clearly didn't need the funding.  See her vacationing here:

Now in this St. Tammany Library Alliance case they got told by the 5th Circuit:
Plaintiffs lost their Board positions and thereby lost the power to wield the levers of influence over St. Tammany's libraries—and they want that control back.  But rather than pursue that aim through the political process, they have "dragged that fight into federal court by tricking it out in [constitutional] colors."

That's brutal.

Don't let ALA convince you to file losing lawsuits that trick out minor cases in constitutional colors.

And, to show how devoted this ALA-created local group is to ALA goals, even in the face of a brutal loss, they lie about it, using language that could have come straight from ALA:
February 11, 2025

Joint statement of Anthony Parr, Rebeca Taylor, and Bill McHugh:

We are disappointed that the appeals court ordered our case dismissed on jurisdictional grounds and did not resolve the claims of legislative privilege raised by defendants.  Defendants asserted legislative privilege in this case to hide evidence that demonstrates the merits of plaintiff's case.  Plaintiffs lost their positions on the St. Tammany Parish Library Board because members of the Parish Council disfavored their views on certain library materials.

This outcome is a loss for libraries and the communities they serve.  Library board members must be allowed to perform their roles without fear of retaliation and discrimination for defending the public's right to read and access information.
You see, these people have completely lost the plot.  The Courts of Appeals spoke directly against what they are saying here, but they are so blinded by ALA-colored glasses that that can't see what they said is completely false.  Instead, they decry the loss of the "public's right to read and access information."  That has absolutely zero to do with this case.  The Court said, "At its core, this case is not about viewpoint discrimination, free speech, retaliation, or substantive due process."  "But rather than pursue that aim through the political process, they have 'dragged that fight into federal court by tricking it out in [constitutional] colors.'"

People, don't listen to ALA.  ALA gives bad advice.  ALA gives loser advice that leads to losing.  Groups ALA starts don't even see it because they completely believe the ALA propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

By the way, now that US Department of Education has exposed ALA's "book ban" hoax, these ALA-engendered cases are only going to become faster losers than they would have been initially.  My advice is to stay away from ALA's advice.  Your pocketbook and your brain will thank you.


NOTE ADDED 12 FEBRUARY 2025:

Others have written about this matter and the excuses of those pushing the ALA agenda:




In light of the total loss by the ALA astroturfers, it's interesting to look back at their claims and how media portrayed them essentially uncritically and with loaded language:

US Government Exposes 'Book Ban' Hoax; What Parents and School Boards Can Do Next

The United States Department of Education has found the "banned books" claim by the American Library Association [ALA] from Chicago, IL, is a "hoax."

See:

It has ended the charade, dropping multiple actions against parents.  The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has:
  1. "dismissed 11 complaints related to so-called 'book bans.'  The complaints alleged that local school districts' removal of age-inappropriate, s[]xually explicit, or obscene materials from their school libraries created a hostile environment for students"
  2. pointing out this is, "a meritless claim premised upon a dubious legal theory."
  3. "Effective Jan. 24, 2025, OCR has rescinded all department guidance issued under the theory that a school district’s removal of age-inappropriate books from its libraries may violate civil rights laws."
  4. "OCR is also dismissing six additional pending allegations of book banning"
  5. "and [OCR] will no longer employ a 'book ban coordinator' to investigate local school districts and parents working to protect students from obscene content."
We learn from this:
  1. Claims of book bans from ALA are and have been a hoax 
    1. (just as I have been reporting here for decades)
  2. Claims of book bans are "meritless" and "premised upon a dubious legal theory" 
    1. (one that ALA made up as part of its approximately 60 year efforts to remove parental rights to better indoctrinate children in schools, powered by taxpayer resources and ALA-trained school librarians: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PZ2pDhKhRAtlNgR7gek_1kcdGFoskHpa/view?usp=sharing)
  3. Claims of book bans are such a hoax that the federal government has dropped eleven complaints about removal of inappropriate materials from school libraries.
  4. Claims of book bans are such a hoax that policy was rescinded where the policy claims hoax book bans violated civil rights laws.
  5. Removing inappropriate books from school libraries doesn't violate civil rights laws.
    1. (Pervasively vulgar and educationally unsuitable books may be removed from school libraries, and removed immediately, without the ALA claim that a review committee is needed, the book must stay on the shelves until the process has ended, etc., all made up requirements from Chicago's ALA that made up these rules in the first place.  So if an inappropriate book is in your school library or a classroom library, it may be removed immediately under the law, namely, the Pico case.  Further, all those trans and gender ideology books are educationally unsuitable, so they may be removed en masse immediately.  That's right, anything educationally unsuitable may be removed immediately.  And when librarians cry foul, remind them they have been working for decades to create an imbalance of books where the trans ideology now vastly outnumbers the books they have slowly weeded out, like Shakespeare and other dead white guys, as ALA puts it.)
  6. Six allegations of book banning are being dropped because book banning claims are a hoax.
  7. A "book banning coordinator" is being fired because book banning in schools is a hoax.
Based on this, what does that mean, what can parents and school boards do next:
  1. All existing Freedom to Read Acts, Libraries For All Acts, Right to Read Acts currently in existence that ALA has promoted, which is all of them, are instantly suspect as they have been based on a book ban hoax.  They should be repealed or legally defeated.  It's law based on a hoax and written by the ALA that perpetrated the hoax in the first place.  It's law that directly harms children.
  2. All legislation seeking to create Freedom to Read Acts, Libraries For All Acts, Right to Read Acts are based on the book ban hoax, so they should be dropped or otherwise disposed.  "The elimination of federal oversight in these matters shifts the responsibility of determining which books are available in school libraries entirely to local school boards, districts, and parents.  For proponents of the change, this represents a victory for parental rights and local governance.  It allows communities to shape their educational environments based on shared values and priorities without federal intervention." (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/trump-education-department-ends-biden-era-book-ban-hoax-plan-what-it-means-for-school-libraries-across-us/articleshow/117577727.cms). True.  And the ALA's Freedom to Read Acts, Libraries For All Acts, Right to Read Acts are intentionally designed to take those rights away and leave them in the hands of ALA itself via local ALA organizations, like state associations of school librarians.
  3. All school librarians promoting opposition to book bans are promoting a hoax and using public funding to do so.  They should be required to stop promoting the hoax.  If they refuse, or if they claim to comply but keep using fugitive pedagogy to keep teaching the hoax, they should be fired and their licenses to teach anywhere revoked.  Sounds harsh but do it to a few and the rest will get the message that the law controls, not Chicago's ALA community organizers.
  4. Parents may now assume, instead of that librarians are experts who must know what they are doing so we should defer to them, that school librarians have been hoaxing them for a long time and that providing school children with explicit material is not right, and parents have the right and the power to force school boards to comply with the law instead of with Chicago's ALA.
  5. ALA has reacted to US DOE's action by labeling US DOE, Trump and his voters as arbitrary, cruel, homophobic, racist, dictatorial, and thinking they are above the law, all while wasting tax payer money to defend "book bans."  https://www.ala.org/news/2025/01/book-bans-are-real  Well, US DOE just removed the tax payer waste excuse regarding a situation ALA forced in the first place with its banned books hoax.  And the public now sees ALA's defense is the naked statement "Banned Books Are Real" while attacking people as racist and homophobic, showing they have absolutely no legitimate argument that the banned books hoax they created isn't a hoax.  ALA is just going to keep on attacking people.  Full disclosure, ALA has gotten me involved in five defamation suits to silence me or other parents, and I'm in three now concurrently.  All over the book ban hoax.
  6. Parents can stop being intimidated by school librarians crying about nonexistent book bans.
  7. School superintendents can stop being intimidated by school librarians crying about book bans.
  8. School board members can stop being intimidated by school librarians crying about book bans.
  9. School board members can rewrite school policies to remove any references to Chicago ALA's Library Bill of Rights and other diktat.  For example, get rid of the Library Bill of Rights that makes it age discrimination to keep kids from inappropriate material in direct violation of Board of Education v. Pico, allow inappropriate books to be removed immediately in accordance with Board of Education v. Pico, get rid of book review committees that are from ALA and not in the Pico case, and get rid of policies that require books be reviewed only by review sources librarians claim are legitimate.  In reality, that's a significant way ALA librarians force libraries to heavily balance in favor of gender ideology.  Meanwhile, librarians viciously attack wholesome material as inappropriate for public schools: "Moms For Liberty Published Their First Book; And the America First and America Best Group Used a Russian Illustrator For It," by Kelly Jensen, Well Sourced by Kelly Jensen, 25 January 2025.  And recall ALA trained librarians to block Christians from public library meeting rooms, like Kirk Cameron and Brave Books (https://www.kenningtonreport.com/p/alas-banned-books-and-censorship), while at the same time "sneakily" pushing drag queen gender ideology into public libraries (https://web.archive.org/web/20170612040326/https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intersections-glbt-book-month-dispatch-small-town-librarian). 
  10. Currently lawsuits against parents based on the book banning hoax, including those in which I'm involved, will possibly benefit from the federal government exposing the Chicago ALA's hoax.  ALA and its partners like PEN America have ongoing lawsuits in AL, FL, LA, NH, NJ, TX, WY, etc.  The federal government has already dumped 11 cases and 6 investigations.  We all shall see what happens to the current lawsuits ALA instigated.
  11. When you read what the hoax perpetrators themselves say in response to the US Department of Education's action on the book ban hoaxes, notice the response is always to attack the messenger:

Now, everyone, stop being intimidated by librarians, even if they are in Hollywood documentaries about hoax book bans by Sarah Jessica Parker from which librarians are grifting (https://givebutter.com/pen).  Even if they are saying you have to have empathy, like librarian Martha Hickson says when donating $25 to PEN America, as shown above, since empathy is weaponized against you.  Stop your legislators from passing laws written by Chicago's ALA.  Start demanding your school boards dump the policies written by the hoaxers.  Your children being free from indoctrination and s[]xualization is more important than the feelings or even the jobs of school librarians.

ALA's house of cards is about to fall.  Let it.

By the way, here's where I proved it was ALA that infiltrated the White House with the banned books hoax:
