Dan Kleinman Is Intolerable, Not School Librarians Harming School Children; Guy Citron's Triple Decker Defamation

Dan Kleinman is intolerable, not school librarians harming school children, according to "guest commentator" Guy Citron at the Hunterdon Review, Whippany, NJ, pictured top right, photo credit Hunterdon Review:
By way of fair use, I will reprint the article then comment on it, to see if the claim of my being intolerable is projection.

As we shall see, Guy Citron himself is the intolerable one, making multiple defamatory claims about me, then he commits a significant deception to include what appears to be the defamatory statements of former North Hunterdon-Voorhees High School school librarian Martha Hickson.  I have also caught him in the act of colluding with Michael Gottesman to commit defamation per se.  

So school librarians harming children aren't the problem, I am, to Guy Citron.  He decides to personally defame me, piling on Martha Hickson defaming me and making a deceptive edit to do it, then further piling on Michael Gottesman defaming me.  

It's like a triple decker defamation by Citron et alia.  A trifecta of transgressors, shown below.  "Guest propagandist" would have been more accurate than "guest commentator."  Perhaps "guest gaslighter."



With so much heat, I might be over the target.  Ya think?



COMMENTARY: Outside Influencer at Local School Board Exposed Should Not Be Tolerated

In 2025, it seems that [SO FAR SO GOOD, FALLS OFF A CLIFF HEREAFTER] far right-wing extremism [STARTS RIGHT OFF WITH POLITICAL NAME CALLING] may dominate business at the North Hunterdon – Voorhees Regional High School Board of Education [USES THAT POLITICAL NAME CALLING AGAINST AN ENTIRE BOARD OF EDUCATION].

To win their seats, instead of representing the community’s needs [FALSE], a majority of the members who have been serveing [sic] as of January 2025 spread hate [FALSE] about books, librarians, and school libraries. They were helped by radical [FALSE] politicians and outside influencers [FALSE, PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO ALL] like Dan Kleinman, an intruder [FALSE] who is wholly unserious about improving public education [NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME. I ADDRESS HARM IN LIBRARIES AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION IN CHICAGO CAUSES TO LIBRARY PATRONS AND EMPLOYEES INCLUDING LIBRARIANS NATIONWIDE].

In what appears to be a grudge with the American Library Association [FALSE, I INVESTIGATE AND REPORT ON ALA, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A GRUDGE, AS LONG AS THEY KEEP HARMING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, I'LL KEEP REPORTING], Kleinman has spent decades [TRUE? TWENTY FIVE YEARS] crusading [FALSE, IT'S JOURNALISM, NOT CRUSADING] against your family’s right to read books [FALSE, READ WHATEVER YOU LIKE]. To fake credibility [FALSE, I HAVE 25 YEARS OF CREDIBILITY, INCLUDING THE AUTHOR OF THE CHILDREN'S INTERNET PROTECTION ACT CALLING ME AN EXPERT ON ALA DECEPTION], he created the World Library Association and Safe Libraries, neither entity having credentials or [sic] authority in librarianship [FALSE, I'M A JOURNALIST ON ALA AT SAFELIBRARIES, WORLD LIBRARY ASSOCIATION JUST STARTED SO IT WILL GROW, AND I HAVE BEEN A VOLUNTEER LIBRARIAN FOR TWO YEARS].

Furthermore, rather than tackling real challenges at school [FALSE, A SCHOOL LIBRARIAN POTENTIALLY VIOLATING NJ OBSCENITY LAW 2C:34-3, ETC., IS A REAL CHALLENGE AT SCHOOL, SO MUCH SO THE SCHOOL SPENT YEARS CONSIDERING THE ISSUE] – like smartphones – Kleinman preaches [FALSE, IT'S JOURNALISM] ad nauseam [FALSE, IS A JOURNALIST SUPPOSED TO DO A SINGLE STORY THEN MOVE ON? HOW OFTEN DID WE HEAR RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA?  AD NAUSEAM, BUT THAT'S OKAY TO GUY SKEWERING ME FOR PERSISTENCE] that the sky is falling because of librarians and library books [FALSE, REAL CHILDREN ARE REALLY BEING HARMED BY SCHOOL LIBRARIANS, LIKE MAIA POET]. Worst of all, the librarians Kleinman targets [FALSE, I'M A JOURNALIST, THEY ARE SUBJECTS OF MY JOURNALISM, NOT TARGETS] endure harassment [FALSE, BUT I'M BEING SUED TO SILENCE ME ON THIS VERY POINT, AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, I SHOULD NOT COMMENT FURTHER, WHICH OF COURSE GUY CITRON AND OTHERS WILL USE AGAINST ME], false accusations [FALSE, ALMOST ALL OF MY REPORTING INCLUDES PRIMARY SOURCES UPON WHICH I REPORT, OFTEN I TURN THOSE SOURCES INTO TRANSCRIPTS TO PROVIDE COMPLETE CONTEXT], and invasions of privacy [FALSE, AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE TO WHAT HE IS REFERRING, EXCEPT PERHAPS SOMETHING IN THAT CASE I SHOULD NOT DISCUSS] to the point of harm [FALSE, I'M A JOURNALIST].

Now, Kleinman has been exposed as a national bully [FALSE, IN AMERICA PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY]. In November, one of his most famous victims [FALSE, BUT I SHOULD NOT SAY MORE], Amanda Jones, Louisiana school librarian and author of the best-selling [FALSE, BUT LIKELY TRUE AMONG AN AUDIENCE OF LIBRARIANS] book “That Librarian,” filed a suit [FALSE, SHE FILED TWO SUITS, ONE IN NEW JERSEY THEN AN IDENTICAL ONE IN LOUISIANA, BOTH LINKED AT THE BOTTOM OF MY GIVE SEND GO PAGE HE PROVIDES BELOW BUT LATER STEALTH EDITS OUT] against him for defamation and false light.

Jones served Kleinman, via proxy [FALSE, VIA THE HUSBAND OF FORMER SCHOOL LIBRARIAN MARTHA HICKSON AT THAT SCHOOL, AND THE "SERVICE" WAS AN ENVELOPE INTENTIONALLY MADE HARD TO OPEN BY MARTHA HICKSON SO I WOULD SUPPOSEDLY SUFFER MORE WHILE OPENING IT—THAT's RETALIATION, NOT SERVICE], at the school board’s Tuesday, Nov. 26. meeting.

There, he sat with local allies [AS WE ALL DO, EVEN GUY CITRON SAT WITH HIS LOCAL ALLIES AND INDEED VIDEO TAPED ME WHEN MARTHA HICKSON'S HUSBAND HANDED ME A MANILA ENVELOPE, A VIDEO THAT WAS SHARED BY MARTHA HICKSON WITH MANY A GLOATING SCHOOL LIBRARIAN AND EVEN THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION WHO COMMENTED ON MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE], including failed board candidate [FALSE.  IT'S GOOD THAT PEOPLE RUN FOR PUBLIC BOARDS.  SOME LOSE.  THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM FAILED, IT JUST ADDS TO THE PROJECTION BY GUY AGAINST ME] Eric Licwinko, Steven Piontek, a Union Township resident known for shouting curses at meetings [FALSE, HE'S KNOWN FOR CARING TO SHOW UP AT BOARD MEETINGS OUT OF CONCERN FOR HIS CHILDREN, A SUPER POSITIVE TRAIT, AND SOMETIMES THINGS GET HEATED, BUT GUY CITRON CAN'T STOP PUTTING HIS POLITICAL CART BEFORE THE HORSE], and newly elected board member Richard Lordi [FALSE, BOARD MEMBERS ARE NOT MY ALLIES, THEY ARE IMPARTIAL, AND TO THE EXTENT THEY AREN'T, ETHICS CHARGES COULD BE FILED AGAINST THEM, SOMETHING I HAVE DONE BECAUSE GUY CITRON'S ALLIES ON THE BOARD REALLY ARE LITERALLY PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE, HENCE THEY ARE ALLIES, TO NEVER REMOVING INAPPROPRIATE BOOKS FROM THE SCHOOL LIBRARY DESPITE THE OBSCENITY LAW, SO WHENEVER A BOARD DELIBERATES, THE ALLIES HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS IN VIOLATION OF LAW, BUT THAT CASE IS PENDING SO ONLY THE FUTURE KNOWS].

Jones had to find Kleinman at the North Hunterdon-Voorhees district [FALSE, IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THERE, BUT GUY CITRON'S FILMING OF MARTHA HICKSON'S HUSBAND HANDING ME A MANILA ENVELOPE SURE MADE FOR GREAT THEATRE FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIANS AND ALA LEADERS], his frequent haunt [FALSE, AND AGAIN GUY IS MOCKING SOMEONE ATTENDING OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS IN WHAT BY NOW GIVEN THE REPETITION IS AN INTIMIDATION TACTIC TO KEEP PARENTS HE OPPOSES OR WOULD OPPOSE OUT OF SUCH MEETINGS], because while he has claimed to reside [FALSE] in Chatham and Bee Cave, Texas, both of those addresses point to UPS Store-style mailboxes rather than actual dwellings.

Here are some examples of Kleinman’s behavior:

• Kleinman has posted abusive [FALSE] statements about recently retired North Hunterdon High School librarian Martha Hickson more than 150 times and counting since 2021 via X/Twitter at https://x.com/SexHarassed, Facebook, and his own blog [PERHAPS, BUT HE LEAVES OUT THE CONTEXT THAT MARTHA HICKSON HAS PERSISTENTLY BEEN IN THE NEWS FOR THAT LONG, AND HE LEAVES OUT THE CONTEXT THAT MARTHA HICKSON MAY HAVE VIOLATED OBSCENITY LAW NJ 2C:34-3]. Some of those posts include https://tinyurl.com/3x57rev2, https://tinyurl.com/hpz92ce9, https://tinyurl.com/58c5s557.

• In January, he stole into [FALSE, AND POTENTIALLY DEFAMATORY IN AND OF ITSELF TO ALLEGE TRESPASS] the North Hunterdon High School library after hours [FALSE, THE LIBRARY WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT THAT TIME AND WAS IN USE BY THE PUBLIC, TRUE MARTHA HICKSON PUTS BLACK PAPER OVER THE WINDOWS SO NO ONE CAN LOOK INSIDE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY WHEN SHE IS THERE, BUT MARTHA HICKSON WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED], to take photos of Hickson’s workspace for later online harassment [FALSE, AGAIN, IT'S CALLED JOURNALISM, AND IT IS NEWSWORTHY THAT THERE WAS A GIANT SIGN OF MARTHA HICKSON WINNING A LUCRATIVE AWARD FROM AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, ETC., IF I RECALL THE SIGN WAS PLACED HIGHER THAN I'M TALL—REMEMBER LUCRATIVE BECAUSE LATER GUY WILL MAKE FALSE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT MY ALLEGEDLY BEING PAID TO ATTEND SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, AS IF I WOULD JEOPARDIZE MY 25 YEAR JOURNALISM CAREER TO GET PAID TO ATTEND A FEW BOARD MEETINGS]. He bragged [FALSE, IT'S CALLED JOURNALISM] about it and posted photos. The school also has security footage showing Kleinman walking around the library on the evening of Jan. 28, 2024 [I DID NOT KNOW AND I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE.  BUT IT IS CURIOUS THAT THE SCHOOL WOULD NOT MAKE VIDEO TAPES AVAILABLE TO A PARENT WHERE HE CLAIMED HE SAW MARTHA HICKSON TOOK A STUDENT OR STUDENTS INTO HER OFFICE AFTER HOURS.  ANYWAY, IT APPEARS I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO OPRA, INCLUDING HOW IN THE WORLD DID A PRIVATE CITIZEN LEARN THAT THE SCHOOL HAS TAPES OF ME IN THE LIBRARY]. The photo is viewable with this story at HunterdonReview.com.



• At the June school board meeting, he sat alongside Piontek, who read a six-minute tantrum against Hickson almost certainly authored by Kleinman [FALSE, AND THE BOARD LET'S PEOPLE SPEAK FOR ONLY THREE MINUTES, AND OF COURSE GUY CITRON WOULD MISLABEL IT AS A TANTRUM, AGAIN COMPLAINING ABOUT A PARENT SPEAKING UP AT A BOARD MEETING, SOMETHING EVERYONE ELSE ENCOURAGES, GENERALLY SPEAKING].

• Kleinman has submitted to the board office multiple time-wasting [FALSE] OPRA (Open Public Records Act) requests to gain access to Hickson’s personal social media account, over which the district has no access or control [FALSE IN THAT PER A VIDEO OF MARTHA HICKSON SPEAKING FROM WITHIN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY SOLICITING WORK-RELATED MESSAGES VIA HER PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, THOSE MESSAGES SHOULD BE UNDER CONTROL OF THE SCHOOL, AND A RECENT NEW JERSEY CASE JUST FOUND OPRA COMPRISES WORK-RELATED MESSAGES EVEN IF THEY ARE IN PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNTS].

• He has filed ethics charges against eight North Hunterdon-Voorhees board members simply because they followed policy in deciding to retain a book challenged by Licwinko [FALSE, AND THE FULL COMPLAINT CAN BE SEEN ONLINE BUT APPARENTLY GUY IS ONLY HERE TO SMEAR: "Ethics Complaint: North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District Board of Education"].

Kleinman’s antics [FALSE, IT'S CALLED JOURNALISM, JOURNALISTS FILE OPRA/FOIA REQUESTS ALL THE TIME, SCHOOL LIBRARIANS DO SO TOO AND SOMETIMES USE THEM TO DOX AND HARASS PARENTS SO MUCH SO THAT THEY AND THEIR FAMILIES NEED 24 HOUR POLICE PROTECTION, SO YET AGAIN IT'S ONE SIDED PROJECTION WITH GUY CITRON] come at a cost. In terms of personnel time and legal fees, the district is spending your tax dollars to respond to his delusions [FALSE, IT'S CALLED JOURNALISM, AND THE PROBLEM IS THE POTENTIAL ILLEGALITY AND IMPROPRIETY, AND JOURNALISTS REPORT ON SUCH PROBLEMS].

Thankfully, Kleinman’s “work” [FALSE, IT'S CALLED JOURNALISM, NO SCARE QUOTES NEEDED] has been repeatedly rejected by school officials [FALSE IN THAT SOMETIMES ITS ACCEPTED, POBODY'S NERFECT], he has failed to get books banned [FALSE, I OPPOSE BOOK BANNING AS DOES THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THOUGH EXPLICIT BOOKS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL LIBRARIES IS A DIFFERENT STORY AND ALSO STRONGLY OPPOSED PER MULTIPLE POLLS], and despite his deranged [FALSE, HE'S MOCKING MENTALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE NOW JUST TO SMEAR ME, AND HE'S AGAIN BORDERING ON DEFAMATION PER SE] certainty of her wrongdoing, he has been unable to get Hickson arrested [FALSE, I HAVE NEVER MADE ANY EFFORT TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST MARTHA HICKSON NOR ANYONE ELSE. MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE FIRST BEFORE CHARGES ARE BROUGHT].

How has Kleinman latched on to our district? His local social media friends include Licwinko, Piontek, sitting board member Nicole Gallo [FALSE], board member Lordi [FALSE], and Christopher Stadulis, husband of sitting member Cynthia Reyes-Stadulis [FALSE, I HAVEN'T "LATCHED ON" BECAUSE OF FRIENDS].

Gallo even parroted [FALSE, IT WAS INTERNATIONAL NEWS THAT THE NEW PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCED SHE WON THE ELECTION BY SAYING SHE WAS A MARXIST AND SHE WOULD WIELD POWER WITHIN ALA ACCORDINGLY] some of Kleinman’s most ludicrous talking points at the June meeting: the American Library Association (ALA) is Marxist, “the ALA’s president is a known, self-admitted, Marxist lesbian who promotes Queer Theory,” and the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) “has a fist as a rose” to represent Marxism. “Marxists,” for those unfamiliar, are boogey-monsters [FALSE, AS WE CAN SEE WE RIGHT THERE WHERE THE NEW ALA PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED SHE WAS MARXIST AND WOULD NOW "WIELD POWER" WITHIN ALA. "SOLIDARITY," SHE SAID.  SHE WOULD LATER GO ON TO TELL FORMERLY JAILED MARXISTS AT THE SOCIALISM CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO THAT SHE NEEDS THEIR HELP IN TURNING LIBRARIES INTO SITES FOR SOCIALISM TRAINING.  SEE https://karlyn.substack.com/p/exclusive-recording-american-library] who exist only in far right-wing propaganda [FALSE, AGAIN WITH THE NAME CALLING]. The video is at about 3:17:30 on the board meeting video viewable at https://www.youtube.com/live/GXtyvkApHKg.

And why, despite his repeated failures [FALSE], does Kleinman keep coming back to this school board [AGAIN HE'S DISCOURAGING ATTENDANCE AT PUBLIC MEETINGS]? Who is funding Kleinman’s performances at these board meetings? His local contacts provide some clues.

One word: money. Just like the carpetbaggers of old, he accepts cold, hard cash in the form of a $1,000 per board meeting as an appearance fee [FALSE, IS THIS THE THIRD TIME NOW WITH THE DEFAMATION?].

In a Feb. 12 message exchange with a supporter of public education [FALSE, HE'S REFERRING TO MICHAEL GOTTESMAN, A SUPPORTER OF INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN ("PUSHING ALL KINDS OF NON SENSE IN NEW JERSEY SCHOOL, SUCH AS THE S@X ED CURRICULUM AND GENDER IDEOLOGY" SAYS @WAKEUPNJ ON X), NOT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.  IN GUY'S WORLD, EVERYONE ON HIS SIDE (LIKE @WAKEUPNJ SUMMARIZES)) IS AN ANGEL SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND EVERYONE ON THE OTHER SIDE SEEKING TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM HARM IS DERANGED AND IS GRIFTING], Kleinman admitted [FALSE, JOKED WOULD BE THE ACCURATE TERM, BUT GUY DID NOT ASK ME NOR INVESTIGATE, HE JUST WENT AHEAD WITH A FALSE STORY BECAUSE IT ALIGNED WITH HIS OWN BELIEFS, AND HE MALIGNS ME FOR FILING OPRA/FOIA REQUESTS TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH BEFORE I REPORT.  I JOKED BECAUSE THIS GUY GOTTESMAN HAS NEVER SPOKEN WITH ME BEFORE, AT LEAST NOT ON FACEBOOK, AND HIS FIRST STATEMENT TO ME WAS, "JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE TO SPEAK AT BOARD OF ED MEETINGS?"  WHAT AN ODD OPENING STATEMENT.  SO I PLAYED ALONG TO EXPOSE THE NETWORKS.  AND HERE'S GUY CITRON DEFAMING ME AS A GRIFTER WITH A PRIVATE MESSAGE ON FACEBOOK THAT HE GOT DIRECTLY FROM MICHAEL GOTTESMAN.  THERE'S YOUR NETWORKS.  SCHOOL LIBRARIANS COLLUDE WITH EACH OTHER BEHIND THE SCENES (I'VE REPORTED THIS IN AT LEAST THREE SEPARATE INSTANCES) AND HERE WE HAVE GUY CITRON PUBLISHING A PRIVATE MESSAGE JUST TO SMEAR ME AND WITHOUT FIRST FACT CHECKING.  HE COULD HAVE FILED AN OPRA WITH THE SCHOOL, FOR EXAMPLE, TO SEE IF I WAS PAID FOR THE TIMES I SPOKE.  HE DIDN'T.  HE WAS JUST INTERESTED IN THE SMEAR, NOT IN THE TRUTH.  THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT PEOPLE WHO ARE OVER THE TARGET HAVE TO ENDURE], “I have to make money somehow… so I charge a token amount of $1,000 for three minutes of speaking, but I usually stick around for the whole meeting.” A photo of the screenshot of this message is viewable with this story at HunterdonReview.com.

Also, Kleinman is now openly soliciting for donations online to pay the legal bills he’s racking up at https://www.givesendgo.com/LegalFundForParents [SIGNIFICANT DECEPTION BY GUY CITRON.  THE FIRST VERSION OF HIS WRITING INCLUDED THE URL TO MY GIVE SEND GO THAT I PUT IN BOLD TO HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT HE ULTIMATELY DELETED.  THE UPDATED VERSION'S FIRST SIGNIFICANT EDIT WAS TO DELETE THE URL.  THAT'S INTENTIONAL DECEPTION.  AND IT REVEALS HE ONLY WANTS PEOPLE TO HEAR HIS FALSE VIEW AND NOT GO TO MY PUBLICATION TO READ THE TRUTH.  ALA LIBRARIANS AND SUPPORTERS DO THIS ROUTINELY TO SUFFOCATE ANY OPPOSITION AND NOT GIVE IT OXYGEN; JUST GO THERE AND LOOK AT THE COMMENTS TO SEE I'M BEING SMEARED RIGHT IN THE COMMENTS OF THE GIVE SEND GO, AND GUY CITRON IS HERE TO PUT THOSE SMEARS INTO PRINT AS THAT'S ANOTHER THING HE ADDS VIA STEALTH EDIT.  THAT'S WHAT GUY CITRON HAS DONE HERE.  COMPARE VERSION 1 (Mar 7, 2025) https://archive.ph/3Vi6Y with VERSION 2 (Mar 7, 2025 Updated Mar 11, 2025) https://archive.ph/jhtMG  IN THE SECOND VERSION, NOTICE HE ADDED THOSE COMMENTS SMEARING ME IN MY GIVE SEND GO: "So desperate is Kleinman to pick your pocket that he is falsely claiming that the largest contribution to his campaign has come from Hickson, the perennial target of his abuse; she has reported the fraud to both the fundraising platform and law enforcement". MARTHA HICKSON IS POSTING ABOUT THIS COMMENTARY BY GUY CITRON CURRENTLY SO YOU KNOW SHE AND GUY CITRON ARE COLLUDING ON THE SMEAR.  I THINK WE CAN SEE WHO IS THE INTOLERABLE ONE HERE, AND IT'S NOT ME]. So desperate [FALSE] is Kleinman to pick your pocket [FALSE, AND THIS MAY BE THE FOURTH INSTANCE OF HIS DEFAMATION OF ME] that he is falsely claiming [FALSE] that the largest contribution to his campaign has come from Hickson, the perennial [FALSE] target [FALSE, IT'S JOURNALISM] of his abuse [FALSE, IT'S JOURNALISM]; she has reported the fraud [FALSE, THIS IS HIS FIFTH INSTANCE OF DEFAMATION, DEFAMATION PER SE IN THIS CASE] to both the fundraising platform [FALSE?  HE PROVIDES NO EVIDENCE] and law enforcement [FALSE?  HE PROVIDES NO EVIDENCE]. In 2024, Kleinman spoke at three of our meetings and likely authored the remarks for a fourth, totaling maybe $4,000 in “appearance fees.” [FALSE.  I DON'T CHARGE FEES.  I DO THIS AS PART OF MY 25 YEARS OF JOURNALISM ON HOW ALA HARMS COMMUNITIES.  MARTHA HICKSON INVITED ALA INTO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY, AND YOU DON'T HEAR GUY CITRON COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT, COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW FOLLOWING ALA'S ADVICE FROM CHICAGO IS REALLY THE CAUSE OF ALL THE EXPENDITURES.  AGAIN. IT'S PROJECTION WITH GUY CITRON] This provokes panic [FALSE], cycles his engagement [FALSE], and begs serious questions [FALSE]:

• Just what is Kleinman’s standing within our community? That answer is none [FALSE]. Kleinman doesn’t live here, has never lived here, and has no children in the district. And yet he was again at the school board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25. No one wants a national bully [FALSE, IF THERE IS ANY NATIONAL BULLY INVOLVED, IT IS AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND ITS LOCAL ACOLYTE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN MARTHA HICKSON AND HER COCONSPIRATOR GUY CITRON] as an un-elected official. Yet here we are. We, the sensible [FALSE, IT IS NOT SENSIBLE TO INVITE IN AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TO INDOCTRINATE COMMUNITY CHILDREN AND VIOLATE LOCAL LAWS, COMMUNITY STANDARDS, AND COMMON SENSE], education-focused public must fight [FALSE, ALWAYS WITH THE WORD FIGHT WITH THESE PEOPLE] back. Attend school board meetings, question business not related to school, and speak out against tax-dollar wasting [FALSE], expert agitators [FALSE], like Kleinman.

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."

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:
