Emily Drabinski Threatens State Library Commissions After Montana Drops ALA Membership: 'There Are More of Us Than There Are of Them'

Emily Drabinski is the President of the American Library Association and, as a result, libraries and state library commissions are dropping their memberships so as to defund ALA.  There are lot of reasons why, but for this publication, I present below a transcript of Emily speaking on August 14, after the Montana State Library Commission has already canceled its $15,000 membership with more states about to follow.  Source:

Ferenc, Ed. “Fighting Against a Nationwide Attack on Libraries and Education: Interview of Emily Drabinski S4 E160.” America’s Work Force; Union Podcast, August 14, 2023. https://awf.labortools.com/listen/fighting-against-a-nationwide-attack-on-libraries-and-education. (Transcript below.)

Think about what she is saying.  Listen or read closely.  Everything she is saying is why people are dropping out of ALA.  Now I will discuss what's in the transcript provided below and why state library commissions should drop ALA membership immediately.

Overall, these statements by the President of the ALA reveal that ALA's top goal is equity—literacy is never mentioned.  Not even once.  And it shows.  Reading scores are crashing all across America, with black students having a 4th grade reading proficiency level of 17%.  Never mind literacy, Emily wants librarians to organize for change against communities she calls "a small but very loud minority."  Per Emily, librarians should spin challengers/parents/state library commissioners as being hateful, racist and homophobic, and she says ALA rarely gets involved locally when the opposite is true.  Most importantly, she threatens state library commissions, because this is how ALA works.  

So more state library commissions should drop out and drop out now using this new evidence.

Emily starts out by describing ALA as "an association that advances access and equity, uh, for all."  Equity means, per Dr. James Lindsay, "something pretty close to Marxism."  See picture of Emily Drabinski above right.

Emily then does projection.  She calls parents, "a sort of movement being led by a small but very loud minority of people."  That's a lie.  Parents are the vast majority, and the librarians who allow the s3xualization of children, those are the people who literally are the small but very loud minority.  So she's gaslighting.

And how does she describe these parents? As "people who want to restrict access to information about black life and experience, about queer life and experience."  So as racists and homophobes.  That's more lying.  It's simply not happening but claiming it is has been a decades-long tactic of the American Library Association because it works to fool people.  And black students having a 4th grade reading proficiency level of 17%, something not even on ALA's radar.

Here's more projection: "organized efforts to pull books off the shelves."  The reality is the s3xualization of children in libraries is an organized effort to push books onto school shelves, and ALA is organizing that effort.  And ALA's organization is so strong and well entrenched it goes right up to the White House, so it's projection to complain about Moms for Liberty and the like: "Library Boards Trained to Lie by ALA; Banned Books Wedge Issue Adopted by White House."

Here's comes the victim role: "the professional sort of nature of our work is part of what’s being attacked here."  Parents speaking up about their children being s3xualized by librarians is an "attack."  And ALA wants more funding for this?

Then she makes the parents look stupid: "So I think there’s also a real disconnect between the attacks that are happening and the daily work of the librarian who, in many case, of these cases doesn't even have the book on the shelf."

More outright lies: "The um part of the talking points that these, uh, loud, pro-censorship activists and organizers is that the American Library Association sets policies for individual libraries and we really don’t do that."  Go to any school's materials reconsideration form.  Compare it with ALA's model form.  They all ask essentially the same accusatory questions or are substantially similar and people don't even realize ALA essentially wrote the forms.  This is why newly formed World Library Association has an online reconsideration form, but I digress.  Further, ALA set the policy for librarians to ignore child p*rn viewers then deleted it but only after I personally challenged ALA on that very point.  So don't tell me "we really don't do that."  You really do.  And I'll prove it further below.

Now here's a joke: "We have, uh, professional standards and practices and recommendations."  First, librarianship is not a profession.  Second, they have no standards.  They train librarians to use personal devices to bypass open government laws.  They order librarians to delete and destroy public documents already requested via FOIA.  They plagiarize censorship maps for Banned Books Week.  They hire and rehire a homophobe to train for ALA then have her file two defamation suits against me in federal court where the settlement offer was that I delete my exposing ALA's own homophobia.  They add the word "age" to the Library Bill of Rights to s3xualize children.  They train librarians to lie about challenged books.  They defame an MLB player (Alfonso Soriano) on Wikipedia claiming he cheated on his wife, which is defamation per se.  They fake claims about LGBT discrimination on Banned Books Week just to promote themselves.  They make hundreds of anonymous edits on Wikipedia about Net Neutrality just to circumvent IRS tax laws.  They spend over $1.5M to keep Internet p*rnography in public libraries, allying with a man from the ACLU who possessed sadistic and masochistic child p*rnography and went to jail for seven years.  They write for SIECUS and Playboy.  They train librarians that they know material is s3xually inappropriate for minors but it is to be "reframed" as diversity and inclusion.  They give scholarships to nonwhite people and have conference break rooms for nonwhite people.  I could go on.  These people have zero standards, let alone professional standards.

More lies: "We have an Office of Intellectual Freedom uh that ... do[es]n’t set policy at individual libraries."  OIF makes personal appearances at libraries across America to help libraries defend their policies that are essentially copied from ALA model policies.  One library that defended the crime of child p*rnography for 2 1/2 years was given an "intellectual freedom" award on OIF's insistence.  Watch: "2014-8-18 Diane Jennings Admits Child Porn and LIES about Staff Action," by Megan Fox, YouTube, 11 November 2014.  This was the very incident, where the PR Director admitted on a radio station that the crime of child p*rnography had occurred, that ALA started training librarians not to speak with media except under very strict conditions that would guarantee mishaps like this would never again occur.  It's why ALA will never debate me or anyone.  So at that library that defended admitted child p*rn crimes, ALA OIF said:

I do want to reiterate that I work with libraries on developing policies on a regular basis.  You have very strong policies, they're very child protective, they're respective of your, uh, users’ rights to access the Internet and the library materials under the First Amendment, and there are First Amendment rights that accrue to library users.  And, um, I want to, uh, just express my, uh, my respect and my appreciation for your professionalism in all of this.

So as to Emily's lie that OIF "do[es]n’t set policy at individual libraries."  Its leader admitted, reiterated actually, "I do want to reiterate that I work with libraries on developing policies on a regular basis."  So there you go, yet another Emily Drabinski lie so she can spin ALA as a harmless organization that's just there for moral support.

And I'm not even half way through the short interview she gave.  The provably false lying is simply nonstop.  Oh yes, the lies are repeated from one speaking engagement to the next.  Example, FYI:

Keynote 1- Emily Drabinski: Organizing for Change, 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-umq7phyB54.

Then there's more gaslighting: "This is an issue that has been right on the, for the front line library worker front and center for the past couple of years and it’s been really really intense."  It's not getting more and more intense.  What it is is that librarians are pushing more and more s3xually inappropriate material reframed by ALA as diversity and inclusion, and more and more parents are waking up to that.  Are we supposed to stay silent?  Yet Emily casts it as the censors are getting bolder and censoring more, when reality is the librarians are getting bolder and s3xualizing more.

Here's the lie/joke of the century she tries to slip in like it's true: "And what, what we’re seeing is that when community members and people who believe in their public library use it, which is the vast majority of us, right...."  No, public library use is dropping and it was a trickle during the Covid lockdown years.  And certainly the "vast majority of us" do not use public libraries.  Further, many parents are now avoiding libraries precisely because ALA has s3xualized it.  Did you know ALA trained librarians to "sneakily" push Drag Queen Story Hour into libraries?  Meanwhile, ALA trains librarians to block actor Kirk Cameron and readings in public meeting rooms of his Brave Books series.  This women Emily just cannot stop the lies.

Truth finally!  "People organizing to ensure that the library board members represent people who care about the library and promote the library as a way of keeping people who want to ban books from taking over those kinds of positions."  She's saying her Unite Against Book Bans group is organizing to win board seats just to block out the locals running for the board.  So finally she tells the truth while revealing ALA is working to subvert communities.  Nice, huh?  Funding ALA is like funding your own destruction.

Oh yes, sinking the hook, she attacks the parents again, the vast majority, remember, that she belittles as a tiny minority: "it’s uh really inspiring that they haven’t, that the book banners and censors haven’t taken over the library."  Then the parents are called hateful: "And uh I'm not sure quite why, ha ha, it doesn’t garner the same clicks as hate does?"

Now comes the big lie.  The big lie is that the vast majority of Americans oppose censorship so keeping books from children is wrong.  It's a big lie because it's based on truth, people do oppose censorship.  This is America, after all.  But the vast majority also opposes s3xually inappropriate books in school, and that she doesn't mention, and that's a separate question from book banning generally.  Here's how she puts the big lie: "Uh, but I believe that we we the major vast majority of Americans agree that children should have access to books."  It's a lie to say that.  Yes, we all agree children should have access to books, just not explicit ones in school libraries—and even the United States Supreme Court agrees with that per the Pico case.

Then, in her coup de grâce for the state library commissions dropping out of ALA, she has a message, a threat actually, and here comes the reason every library commission should drop ALA now.  First, the interviewer asks: "as we know there's some states that are pretty vocal right now, what would that message be Emily?"  He's clearly referring to Montana and other states considering dropping out of ALA.  (Texas dropped out too but after this interview.)  Emily responds, "We're all in this together.  There are more of us than there are of them."  Emily responds with defiance, then with a threat to organize librarians against the state library commissions, "We're all in this together.  There are more of us than there are of them.  It’s just a matter of getting together and standing strong for what our communities need.  And there are lots and lots of ways to do that.  Everyone just needs to do something."  The community organizer is organizing against communities.  Her answer to a question about states dropping ALA membership is confrontational, that there are more librarians than there are state library commission members and parents who oppose how ALA harms communities and especially children.  It's a threat—from the President of the American Library Association.

There you go.  This is why state library commissions should drop ALA membership.  The ALA leader Emily is not there for literacy nor to serve the public, she's there to organize opposition against them.  Do not spend another dime on any group organizing against you and explicitly so.  

Drop all affiliation with ALA now.

T R A N S C R I P T

Ed "Flash Ferenc" (Program Host) [39:34]:

When we come back Emily Drabinski will be joining us. She head’s the American Library Association. We’ll talk about all the censorship and book banning going on in the United States of America. Back in a few.  

Program Host: [42:29]:

Let's go to New York City right now. Joining us on our live line is Emily Drabinski who is President of the American Library Association. She's here to talk about the book banning and censorship that's been going on in America in the past couple of years. There's always some of that going on but it's off the charts right now. Emily welcome to uh America's Work Force. Before we get into that maybe you could uh tell us a little bit about your background, your association with the American Library Association, what it's all about and what you do. Go ahead, let’s pick it up right there. 

Emily Drabinski:

Sure. I'm a librarian, and have been for more than twenty years and a member of the American Library Association for about that long. Uh, I’m involved with the organization uh as a volunteer and a member leader, and was elected President last year. And I’ll serve a term, uh, this year. I’m about six weeks into it and working hard on behalf of library workers across the country trying to raise awareness and, about the issues that library workers are facing every day on the job. 

Program Host:

Yeah you uh you have entered in a very difficult time in America, no doubt about that.

Emily Drabinski:

I sure have.

Program Host:

Uh let me ask you, now do all libraries belong to the American Library Association? Does it work that way? 

Emily Drabinski:

No, it is a member organization and you can join, right, but it isn’t mandatory and we aren’t a a governing body of any kind. We’re a an affiliation of members who, uh, come together to generate probla, solutions to the problems facing American libraries. Uh, some libraries are organizational institutional members, but the vast majority of us are, uh, working librarians who want to be a part of an association that advances access and equity, uh, for all. 

Program Host:

Yeah, we've done a couple of shows with uh some unions that are organizing at libraries, we did that during uh National Library Week which was back in April, so we're seeing a lot of that going on. And a lot of that's happening because of what's happening in libraries, and the pandemic, of course, changed everything too. Uh, but let let's talk about the the book banning and the censorship that's going on and I I read earlier in the show some of the data, the numbers here, which uh is the highest since you started compiling data on censorship in libraries, goods going back 20 years ago. So, um, what's going on here in in your opinion, this. Is it like local school boards that are being really vocal? Can you explain the dynamics of what we're dealing with right now? 

Emily Drabinski:

I think it's really important first to note that this is a, uh, a a sort of movement being led by a small but very loud minority of people who want to restrict access to information about black life and experience, about queer life and experience, and are targeting, um, materials based on those identities. These are, uh, organized efforts to pull books off the shelves that give access to the stories of many of our lives. And it’s happening everywhere and is coordinated and organized in a way that I think we haven’t seen before. Libraries have always deal with patrons who, community members who have suggestions about the kind of books we collect and concerns about some of the books on our shelves and that’s a very ordinary part of library work. What’s different right now is the highly organized nature of the attack, uh, which is something we haven't seen before.

Program Host:

So it it's not your choice, you go to the community to find what books belong in libraries there? Is that is that pretty clear? 

Emily Drabinski:

Well, so if I'm a librarian, right, I went to school and got a masters degree in library science and I, my, part of my job is to develop, uh, physical collections, other kinds of resources, electronic and digital resources, services and programming that, uh, can connect to the people in my community. And every library is different, and so the library in Brooklyn, New York, is different from the library in Boise, Idaho, where I grew up, but in both places the library is tightly linked to the needs of the community. I’ve spent most of my life in higher education and so my library always meets the needs of the students and faculty at the University where I'm working, so the professional sort of nature of our work is part of what’s being attacked here. Uh, in the case, there’s a case in Boundary County, northern Idaho, uh last year where the library director was, uh, sort of organized attack on her institution, looking for, uh, her to remove 300 titles that, uh, the sort of activists in that area had pulled together, and those 300 titles weren’t even books that she had on the shelves. She didn’t own them at all. So I think there’s also a real disconnect between the attacks that are happening and the daily work of the librarian who, in many case, of these cases doesn't even have the book on the shelf. 

Program Host:

Hmm. OK let's take that that that case, for example. When you are alerted to something going on, you mentioned Idaho your your home state, does the American Library Association kind of gather, go over there, counsel and try to um moderate the situation, does does it work that way, Emily? 

Emily Drabinski:

You know it doesn't work that way and I think there’s been a lot of confusion about that. The um part of the talking points that these, uh, loud, pro-censorship activists and organizers is that the American Library Association sets policies for individual libraries and we really don’t do that. We have, uh, professional standards and practices and recommendations and we assist in cases where our assistance is requested. We have an Office of Intellectual Freedom uh that works very hard on behalf of individual libraries uh when they, when their assistance is requested, doing things like providing talking points, uh, press training, sort of connecting people to the resources that we have inside the organization, uh, but we don’t set policy at individual libraries. 

Program Host:

I see.  

Emily Drabinski:

That’s a local concern.

Program Host:

Now, now you do have an action tool kit. In fact I downloaded it. It's pretty uh significant. You can get it if you Google American Library Association. Those of you listening right now, and we have a pretty broad audience, they can take part in this action tool kit which um. Well let's let's talk about that. So so this is, if if somebody is in a respective community and they're banning books or censoring books uh they can download this kit and fight back? Can you can kind of kind of walk us through the the process on that? I'm sure you’re getting a lot of feedback on this, uh, on this toolkit, right?  

Emily Drabinski:

We sure are. We've got a campaign right now called Unite Against Book Bans that includes, uh, tools for people, everything from uh yard signs that you can print out and have have printed and and put in your yard, uh, proclaiming that you oppose book banning and censorship in your community, talking points for talking with the media, uh, as a concerned citizen, guidelines for how to show up at a school board meeting, how to show up at a library board meeting, um, lots of tools like that that you can use, uh. Mostly we’re wanting everybody to get involved. This is an issue that has been right on the, for the front line library worker front and center for the past couple of years and it’s been really really intense. And what, what we’re seeing is that when community members and people who believe in their public library use it, which is the vast majority of us, right, uh, uh, toolkit also include statistics about public support for libraries and the pat, it’s a minority of people that want books out of the collection, and so we need the majority to show up and stand up. And the strategy is, right, for how we're going to win is, um, they’re they’re different and they change every day, and we never know in advance, right, and so we’re asking the toolkit there’s lots of ways for people to get involved. We’ve seen cases in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, where community members have banded together to support the librarian. Really really effective ways, uh, we’ve seen in, uh, Lincolnwood, uh, in the Chicago area, uh. People organizing to ensure that the library board members represent people who care about the library and promote the library as a way of keeping people who want to ban books from taking over those kinds of positions. And so the toolkit gives lots and lots of information about how you can do that organizing in your own community.

Program Host:

Well you point out it's a small but vocal group.

Emily Drabinski:

There is that.

Program Host:

And somehow they get they get national media attention, some networks more than others, I'm not gonna name names, I think you know who I’m talking about here. But uh the the pushback here. Now is that, you you mentioned some success stories. Is that garnering some media attention, the fact that, you know, citizens are saying, "hey, enough is enough, we don’t want this banning anymore." Is that happening? 

Emily Drabinski:

We’re seeing some of that, I wish we saw more of that. Ya know? There’s a lot of winning happening across the country. A lot of communities where uh the the push for censorship is failing, uh, that Lincolnwood example I just shared with you, it’s uh really inspiring that they haven’t, that the book banners and censors haven’t taken over the library, but they were, they were able to see that that might be coming and, uh, organize really effectively in advance, and it’s the kind of, um, win that’s a little harder to frame and celebrate? And uh I'm not sure quite why, ha ha, it doesn’t garner the same clicks as hate does? Uh, but I believe that we we the major vast majority of Americans agree that children should have access to books. It’s, uh, for someone who’s worked in libraries my whole career it’s been shocking to see people oppose things that it’s hard to imagine anyone being against. I was visiting a library in Rhode Island a few weeks ago, and you walk in the door and there's a a shelf there with little tiny plants on it and it’s painted and it says, "take a plant, leaf a plant," and it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen and it's a community partnership between the branch library and the local Girl Scouts to provide greenery to the community. When you see something like that in the library and you don't understand how anyone could be against it and it doesn’t make any sense, and it, I think, um, that’s the piece that’s the most challenging for me. If we could amplify the stories of good work that libraries are doing every day that you probably know about from going to the library, I know about from going to libraries, those are the stories that I’d love to see getting more press coverage, cause that's the real work of uh America’s library workers. Connecting people.

Program Host:

Absolutely. Absolutely. Well you got a friend here at America's Work Force. We appreciate what you're doing there. This is a really, really tough job and just in closing Emily, Emily Drabinski joining us, she is President of the American Library Association, your message to those communities that are affected, um, and and as we know there's some states that are pretty vocal right now, what would that message be Emily?

Emily Drabinski:

We're all in this together. There are more of us than there are of them. It’s just a matter of getting together and standing strong for what our communities need. And there are lots and lots of ways to do that. Everyone just needs to do something. 

Program Host:

There you go.

Emily Drabinski:

And we’re glad to have all of you in the fight.

Program Host:

Alright, Emily, please keep in touch with us. Emily Drabinski, President of American Library Association. Stay strong and stay safe, okay?

Emily Drabinski:

Thank you. 

Program Host:

That'll be it for another addition of America's Work Force. Tomorrow I’m gonna check in with the Ohio Federation of Teachers and the Insulators, that would be Local 45. Until then, all of you have a safe and wonderful day.

Library Boards Trained to Lie by ALA; Banned Books Wedge Issue Adopted by White House

Library boards and librarians are trained to lie about so-called "banned books" by a crypto American Library Association [ALA] group called EveryLibrary (501c3) or EveryLibrary Institute (501c4), so essentially by ALA.  Read their training to see just how insidious it is.  Even details on how to target Democrats differently from Republicans are described, while they take advantage of the great good will librarians have from the past.  Those days should be over.

Then a wedge issue is discussed—one the Biden Administration has adopted, citing ALA, to make so-called "banned books" an election issue.  And the wedge issue is based on lies I'm about to discuss in detail, line by line.

First I will explain what is EveryLibrary, then I will lay out its deceptive training that a whistleblower sent me.  I will then analyze the contents of that training and of the "wedge issue" the Biden Administration has now adopted.  Lastly, I will provide a link to all the documents given to me by a whistleblower, point out how they are filled with gold parents can use to stop the s3xualization of school children by school librarians, then give a call to action.

What is EveryLibrary?  It's ALA:

I've written about EveryLibrary in the past.  It has a history of deceptive training.  It guided librarians how to silence parents who complain about p*rn in the library: "get them to quiet down or get out of the way.  We are going to use the p[*]rn in the library discussion as our example...."  Librarians were trained to use a "very common political ploy."  Another technique is "never mention or directly oppose or attack the person making the original claim.  Simply bury their claim in great stories that tell a counter account of their experience."  We will see below that's exactly what they do when they attack Moms For Liberty without naming it.  "The last technique you can use is to simply ignore them."  I could go on with the deceptiveness of this tax exempt organization but I've written details here:

Kleinman, Dan. “Librarians Guide to Defeating Parents By EveryLibrary.” SafeLibraries® (blog), December 12, 2016. https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2016/12/librarians-guide-to-defeating-parents.html.

Pictured at top right is John Chrastka who wrote the training and who is EveryLibrary's main driver.  As evidence EveryLibrary is a crypto ALA group, simply look at his history with ALA.  For example, at one point ALA describes him as "John Chrastka, the Director of Membership Development, otherwise known as "the guy who sends you e-mails.'"  

As to the organization itself, EveryLibrary was created in close coordination with ALA Executive Director Keith Michael Fiels, and, as detailed in an ALA Executive Board document dated 24 October 2012, gets indirect support from ALA and is intended to "complement" ALA (italics in original, bold added):

The American Library Association as a separate 501c3 cannot provide direct support to the new 501c4, and the governance will be by definition not under any control by ALA. We want to make sure that ALA members with a comprehensive understanding of ALA's s mission and advocacy goals are involved in EveryLibrary mission development, governance and ongoing work, and that the activities of the new 501c4 complement the work of the ALA Office for Library Advocacy, Chapter Relations Office and Development Office (in the area of fund raising for advocacy and public awareness). 

The point is EveryLibrary is expressly created from and remains an ongoing part of ALA, only using a separate legal entity to operate.  Anything EveryLibrary publishes is essentially what ALA publishes—indeed ALA even acts as publisher for EveryLibrary books.  ALA issues press releases promoting EveryLibrary.

And EveryLibrary's most recent move is, like ALA itself, to partner with GLAAD to promote s3xually inappropriate books to children in schools, which has been ALA's mission for over a half century.  Notice below it will "engage media with facts and personal storytelling to defeat book bans and challenges," essentially following its own advise to "never mention or directly oppose or attack the person making the original claim.  Simply bury their claim in great stories that tell a counter account of their experience," as I previously reported and linked above:

GLAAD, along with EveryLibrary, announce a new resource to help communities unite and engage media with facts and personal storytelling to defeat book bans and challenges predominantly facing LGBTQ-inclusive titles and books about race and racism.@glaad https://t.co/yrEWhv2tZR

Activating Support: How to Talk about Book Banning

Voter Perceptions of Book Bans in the United States

The EveryLibrary Institute recently released the results of a nationwide poll that shows that 75% of Americans oppose book banning and are willing to consider book banning when going to the voters this November. Download the report at: everylibraryinstitute.org/bookbanpoll.

Key Points and Suggested Messaging

● Common-sense messaging is most broadly effective. It is more effective than saying that proponents of book banning are simply afraid of anyone who is different from them.

● Effective messages include:

• ○  Children shouldn't have their education dictated by the whims of politicians or extreme

  activists.

• ○  Children’s books are being banned for random reasons.  For example, The Lorax was

  banned because a school board member was a logger, and Walter the Farting Dog was

  banned because it has the word "farting" in it.

• ○  So many classic novels, such as “The Handmaid's Tale, “Of Mice and Men” and “To Kill

  a Mockingbird,” are being banned.  These are treasured classics one minute and

  banned the next.

• ○  If you don’t like a book, don’t check it out

• ○  Parents have the right to decide what their own children can and should read.  But no

  parent has the right to make that decision for all other parents.

• ○  Legislators do not have the right to restrict your reading or your family’s reading

• ○  Do you trust other parents to decide what your family is allowed to read?

• ○  Do you trust the government to decide which books your family is allowed to read?

• ●  It is effective to make specific books emblematic of this issue as a whole. Of those tested, it’s most effective to highlight children’s books and classic novels.

• ●  Voters are most offended by the idea that children and classic books are being banned.  Banning classic novels and children’s books are nearly universally opposed.  Support for banning increases to 18% when discussing books that focus on race, and 34% for books that discuss sexuality.  There is the greatest support (34%) for banning books about sexuality.

• ●  Voters are receptive to describing politicians who support book banning as closed-minded, dangerous, extreme, and short-sighted BUT aside for Democrats, are less likely to use the terms “racist” or “homophobic”.  So effective messaging to middle/right audience will not focus on racism/homophobia.

• ●  All anti-book banning messages are compelling to a vast majority of Americans. Arguing that proponents are simply scared of anyone different is least convincing.

• ●  Subject matter related to race/CRT, and particularly sexuality (including LGBTQ+/Gender), soften Republican opposition to banning books. Books related to sex/gender/sexual orientation are seen as not age-appropriate. To effectively speak to the competing impulse to NOT ban books we should not center our arguments or key points in these areas.

Activating Support: How to Talk about Book Banning

● The possibility of charging library employees emerges as worrying among Republicans and Independents. We should talk about how this is happening around the country – (like Brooke Stephens filing police reports with Farmington Police Department and Davis County Sheriff’s Office)

Additional points

● Just 8% of voters think there are many books that are inappropriate and should be banned.

o Half of voters believe there is “absolutely no time when a book should be banned”. This includes a sizeable portion (31%) of Republicans. This has great potential as a wedge issue. 41% choose a middle position - “there are rare times when it’s appropriate to ban books”.

●  Libraries and librarians are broadly favorably viewed so libraries are entering this issue from a position of strength - American voters have a high regard for libraries, and certainly have more affinity for libraries and librarians than they do for politicians.

●  3 in 4 voters say preventing book banning is important to how they decide to vote. It’s especially mobilizing for college educated women.

●  We won’t need to fight too hard to get people to pay attention. Awareness of the issue is widespread, and book banning is fully opposed by half of American voters (an additionally 41% hold a middle of the road position)

●  31% of Republicans believe there is absolutely no time when a book should be banned. To heighten discomfort for the Republican politicians who support book banning, we suggest focusing on this group for persuasion efforts. (i.e. identify people on the right who oppose all book banning and activate them to speak up.)

Analysis of Library Board Training:

Here are my comments:

Seventy five percent opposing book banning is a fake poll because the issue is explicit books in schools, not book banning.  He leaves out a Harris poll and a Rasmussen poll showing large majorities oppose explicit books in school.  It's misleading.  Then he says the fake poll will be used to influence voters in November.  It's basically lying, what he's doing.

If EveryLibrary's purpose is "educational," per the IRS filing shown above, does that include flat out lying to keep explicit books in schools for kids to read?  Does flat out lying affect the tax exempt status of an organization?  I wonder if I should file a complaint with the IRS.  But there's more.

The "effective messages" are lies, every last one of them. 

"Education dictated by the whims of politicians or extreme activists"?  First, there's that use of the word, "extreme," something one hears constantly now from those seeking to smear people by association.  

For example, the new Marxist President of ALA, in an effort to sheepishly explain why she deleted her tweet bragging about her being the new Marxist President of ALA, uses the word "extremist" repeatedly, nine times, basically against parents opposing the s3xualization of children, like, "And in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, extremists attacked a library director, claiming she conspired with me to peddle p[]rnography to children in the community."  She even complains about a New York Post story by Dana Kennedy in which I appeared opposite of Emily Drabinski (shown below) for merely reprinting what she tweeted: "A photo of my face and screenshot of my tweet showed up in Breitbart’s extremist media networks and in the pages of the New York Post."

Drabinski, Emily. “The Fight for Libraries; Libraries and Higher Education Face a Shared Battle.” Academe by AAUP, March 21, 2023. https://www.aaup.org/article/fight-libraries.

Kennedy, Dana. “Librarians Go Radical as New Woke Policies Take Over: Experts.” New York Post, September 10, 2022. https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/librarians-go-radical-as-new-woke-policies-take-over-experts/.  Quote:

After Drabinski won, she posted on Twitter: “I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of @ALALibrary. I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity!”

By the way, @EDrabinski and @ALALibrary block me on Twitter, because free speech has nothing to do with their agenda.

Even media jumps in with the "extremist" parents (and "book bans") lie.  They even put it right in the title so it can't be missed.  And this is in an NPR (WBUR) story about the Louisiana school librarian Amanda Jones who sued parents for defamation and lost:

Fernandes, Deepa. “One School Librarian Who Spoke Out Against Censorship and Book Bans Became a Target of Extremists.” WBUR (NPR) - Here & Now, June 20, 2023. https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/06/20/louisiana-librarian-censorship?fbclid=IwAR2meD7M54VcVMAqeLfhP4aBcaSPyDjaLjRuGdD3jtPdxVlFFBVmn9Lvoag.

Second, more insidiously, if anyone's "dictating by whim," it's the American Library Association that gives adult books like "Gender Queer" multiple awards for children to ensure that books spread to every school library.  It's the librarians doing the dictating.  And they don't call it censorship when they do it, they call it selection.  So it's fundamentally dishonest to project onto "extremists" what the librarians themselves are doing. 

For example, librarians are removing books by "dead white guys" including Shakespeare, and obviously they never think their own actions are extremist:

AASL/ALSC/YALSA Interdivisional Committee on School-Public Library Cooperation (SPLC). “Libraries Welcome All Families: A Conversation with Urban High School Students About Representation in the CT Nutmeg Nominees.” ALSC Blog (blog), April 23, 2019. https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2019/04/libraries-welcome-all-families-a-conversation-with-urban-high-school-students-about-representation-in-the-ct-nutmeg-nominees/.

Meanwhile, even while knowing librarians are removing "dead white guys," here is EveryLibrary training people to focus on Shakespeare, the classics, and children's books being removed from libraries because that's what fires up voters.  And, librarians, definitely don't talk about the s3xually explicit books because, as the EveryLibrary trainer says as shown in the thirty second clip below, "we might not be winning, we really wanna focus on um the children's books and the um uh the classics um."  This is an example of why I say librarians flat out lie and use projection.  Librarians are banning Shakespeare while training other librarians and library trustees to decry the "extremist" parents banning classics like Shakespeare.  And EveryLibrary is a tax exempt organization for flat out lying?

"Children books are being banned for random reasons"?  He cites two oddball cases.  There are always outliers.  He leaves out the educationally unsuitable and pervasively vulgar works that may be removed immediately from school libraries.  It's deceptive to take outliers and leave out the mainstream problems of librarians s3xualizing children with graphic pedophilic works that even exhort kids to get on s3x apps like Grindr and meet a man for a night.  No, that he doesn't mention.  Just the farting dog case and the Dr. Seuss case.

"So many classic novels are being banned."  False.  Librarians are routinely removing classic novels by, as they put it, "dead white guys," including Shakespeare, and this poltroon claims classic novels are being banned like "To Kill a Mockingbird."  It's just more projection, a complete and intentional deception, an outright lie, but one people won't notice without knowing it's the librarians themselves who are herding children into gender ideology while tossing out classic literature.

"If you don't like a book, don't check it out."  That is completely irrelevant to the issue of whether inappropriate books should be in a library in the first place.  That's like saying, as ALA has, if you don't like seeing p*rnography on a library computer, well just don't look, avert your eyes, sweetie.  Judith Krug said that, including the sweetie part.  Now EveryLibrary says that.  

"Parents have the right to decide what their own children can and should read."  So deeply deceptive.  First, that is not the issue at all of what should be in a library.  Second, ALA works repeatedly and deceptively to keep parents in the dark about what their children are reading.  How?  One way is to advise librarians to use personal emails precisely to keep parents in the dark when they file Freedom of Information Act requests—just as EveryLibrary has done, as discussed below.  Another way is to order the censorship and blacklisting of a book review site by Common Sense Media since it gave parents ratings of the potential for s3xual inappropriateness of books.  So librarians claim only parents can judge, but that's not the issue, and they hide things from parents so they would be misinformed even if they did make their own decisions.  Here's more being hidden from parents by librarians:

Yet again we see more ways LIBRARIANS HIDE THINGS FROM PARENTS TO BETTER S3XUALIZE THE CHILDREN.#parenting #moms #dads: Librarians are no longer your friends. They collude to better s3xualize your kids. Any good will they had should be dropped immediately. https://t.co/eC2lkQCELL

— Dan Kleinman of SafeLibraries® (@SexHarassed) June 20, 2023

"Legislators do not have the rights to restrict your reading."  Oh yes they do.  If your librarians are violating laws, community standards, and common sense by turning libraries into indoctrination centers, lawmakers not only have the right but the duty to act to force the librarians to act within the law.  So don't tell us legislators have no powers.  That's what the librarians want us to think.  As usual it's the exact opposite, legislators do have the power, and they are starting to use it precisely because librarians have gone completely off the rails and kids are being s3xualized and trained nationwide to hate each other as a result.

"Do you trust other parents to decide what your family is allowed the read"?  He's joking, right?  It's projection again.  The real question is do you trust librarians to decide what your family is allowed to read.  Librarians have a "Library Bill of Rights" that contains the Marxist idea that all ages can access all materials.  That's why they allow kids to read pervasively vulgar materials.  So kids would get anything at all from a librarian, and indeed that's what we are seeing again and again in the news.  That "Bill of Rights" sham is in almost every library.  That's the every library in EveryLibrary.  To them EveryLibrary means every library will allow kids access to inappropriate material because some Marxists added the word "age" to the "Library Bill of Rights" over fifty years ago, no one's yet realized, and we're going to damn well keep ramming it down people's throats, especially the easy targets: school kids away from their parents.  So actually yes, parents ultimately decide what goes on in schools and libraries—that's why they elect board members to carry out their wishes, not the wishes of some Marxists from Chicago, IL, called American Library Association.

"Do you trust the government to decide which books your family is allowed to read"?  What cojones these people have.  The ALA is currently getting its "Library Bill of Rights" enshrined into state law where one of the provisions is that states will stop giving money to schools that don't s3xualize their children with inappropriate material.  The law is there to get the governments to decide which books your family is allowed to read!  ALA is for that law!  Yet here is Mr. EveryLibrary saying you shouldn't trust your government as to which books to read.  Can you believe this guy?

So those are his "effective messages."  I just destroyed each one line by line.

To hammer home his lies, he says to "make specific books emblematic of this issue as a whole," emphasis his.  This is just as I pointed out what he did about when he talked about the farting dog book or the Dr. Seuss book and how he left out "Gender Queer" or "This Book is Gay."  He then says the message is market tested to fool people!  "Of those tested, it’s most effective to highlight children’s books and classic novels."  And that's why he talked about "To Kill a Mockingbird."  It's all deception.  It's all delusion.  It's smoke and mirrors.  He's telling people don't be honest, just stick to the script and talk about Theodor Geisel and Harper Lee because that's "tested" and that will fool people, fool them into s3xualizing and indoctrinating kids.  What a groomer this guy is, in my opinion.  And he's the guy writing the guide for library trustees.  Unbelievable, but there it is.

Then he doubles down on the direction to hammer home the lies: "Voters are most offended by the idea that children and classic books are being banned.  Banning classic novels and children’s books are nearly universally opposed."  Emphasis his again.  So leave out that "Gender Queer" is removed from libraries, not "banned" by the way, another deception he uses, and concentrate on Dr. Seuss.  This is pure deception.

So his "advanced training programs" to "boards of trustees" is not really training at all.  He's lying to the Internal Revenue Service now, if you look at the 990 he filed pictured above and linked below.  This is really advanced propaganda training to advance the s3xualization of children.  This is sick.  He's sick.  My opinion, of course.  But there's more.

The next bullet point is to advise boards to make ad hominem attacks against "book banners" as "close-minded, dangerous, extreme, and short-sighted," again, emphasis his.  He goes further!  He characterizes "middle/right" people as "racist" and "homophobic" since he says using such words to sway such people will not be "effective"!  What a racist.  What obvious bias.  What callous disregard for simple honesty.  Everything has to be worded carefully to trick people to side with groomer librarians against parents.  And this guy is running a nonprofit getting tax benefits to s3xualize our children.

The next bullet point tells board members and others what not to say.  Don't say people are "simply scared of anyone different" because he knows from "testing" that that particular lie is no longer effective for "anti-book banning messages."  There's been no book banning in USA since 1963, but the "book banning" scare is never-ending with these people because they know it works.  Well wake up folks, it's a ruse and has been for decades.  As Thomas Sowell put it, "Censorship Propaganda is Just So Much Hogwash":

Sowell, Thomas. “Censorship Propaganda Is Just So Much Hogwash.” The Seattle Times, October 5, 1994. https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19941005&slug=1934214.

Then he turns back to "Republicans" again.  What does he say?  He says DO NOT talk about "race/CRT, and particularly s3xuality (including LGBTQ+/Gender) because those are winning issues for book removals, so don't talk about that: "To effectively speak to the competing impulse to NOT ban books we should not center our arguments or key points in these areas."  Emphasis his.  He is teaching people to be deceptive.  SO EVERYONE SHOULD DO THE OPPOSITE AND KEEP RAISING THE ISSUES HE'S SAYING NEVER TO RAISE.

And it's galling to see this direction, something that could come directly from a groomer: "Books related to sex/gender/sexual orientation are seen as not age-appropriate."  "Seen" as not age-appropriate?  He will never admit they are not age appropriate because the "Library Bill of Rights" eliminates that guard rail.  And as we saw above, parents are never to be trusted to make book selection decisions, only librarians, like this guy, who cannot even admit anything is ever age inappropriate.

"The possibility of charging library employees emerges as worrying among Republicans and Independents. We should talk about how this is happening around the country – (like Brooke Stephens filing police reports with Farmington Police Department and Davis County Sheriff’s Office)."  Well gee, no kidding, age guard rails have been completely eradicated by librarians, and this EveryLibrary guy is training everyone how to fool everyone else into ignoring the guard rails in their local communities.  This is EXACTLY why legislators are right to put some teeth into laws opposing the s3xualization of children.  No one else can protect the children from these liar librarians.  Parents are attacked, like school librarian Roxana Caivano is doing in Roxbury, NJ, in a case in which I am named.  Only legislatures can stop this and restore the guard rails to protect children.  Yet here's EveryLibrary arguing how "we should talk about how this is happening around the country," right in the bullet point after saying we should not talk about "race/CRT" and "s3xuality (including LGBTQ+/Gender)."  So deeply deceptive is this guy, is EveryLibrary, the crypto ALA organization, and to better s3xualize kids.  

Oh my, the guy's not done.  He has "additional points."  Here comes the "wedge" issue the Biden Administration adopted.

Wedge Issue on "Banned Books" Biden Administration has Adopted—It's Based on ALA Lies:

Bullet one about 8% is the same lie from above only reworded and set in boldface.  Then, using the fake book "banning" polls, he says, "This has great potential as a wedge issue."  WHAT A COINCIDENCE!  JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE USING "BANNED BOOKS" AS A WEDGE ISSUE!!!

Ordoñez, Franco. “Book Bans Are on the Rise. Biden Is Naming a Point Person to Address That.” NPR, June 8, 2023, sec. Politics. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/08/1180941627/biden-pride-month-book-bans.

The White House. “FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces New Actions to Protect LGBTQI+ Communities.” The White House, June 8, 2023. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/06/08/fact-sheetbiden-harris-administration-announces-new-actions-to-protect-lgbtqi-communities/.  (Contains a citation under "highest number" directly to American Library Association that cites Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Esq, the ALA Director who trains librarians they know material is s3xually inappropriate for kids but it is to be "reframed" as diversity and inclusion, hyperlink in original.  She also plagiarized the Banned Books Week Censorship Map and faked the Banned Books Week list (2010) so badly that after I reported it LGBT books fell off the list for the first and only time ever (2011)). Quote:

III.    Addressing Book Bans

• Protecting Americans from book banning.  Across the country, our nation faces a spike in book bans – efforts that disproportionately strip books about LGBTQI+ communities, communities of color, and other communities off of library and classroom shelves.  In fact, 2022 saw the highest number of book bans in 20 years.  Book banning erodes our democracy, removes vital resources for student learning, and can contribute to the stigma and isolation that LGBTQI+ people and other communities face.  The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is announcing that to support its ongoing work to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ students and other underserved communities, it will appoint a new coordinator to address the growing threat that book bans pose for the civil rights of students.  That coordinator will work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws.

So I just went through line by line the lie by lie of EveryLibrary, an ALA crypto group, and I get to the part where he talks about a "wedge issue" being "banned books," then I realize, that is EXACTLY in the news from just weeks ago.  So Joe Biden and the Democrats' wedge issue is based on ALA lie after lie, and all to s3xualize more school children.  Let that sink in.

The Biden Administration is pushing the views of a plagiarizing homophobic groomer "reframing" s3xually inappropriate books as diversity and inclusion.  Not an exaggeration; that's my opinion based on what I investigated and reported.  Deborah Caldwell-Stone is quoted in the story the White House links.  This nefarious thinking and trickery is the basis for the Biden Administration's "wedge issue" on "banned books."

This is remarkable breaking news—the connection between the "wedge issue" claim by ALA and the White House's adoption of that issue, even citing to ALA—that could affect the upcoming election.  My point here is not an election but the harm done to children if ALA efforts to s3xualize more school children are given the coercive force of government by the Democrats.

Let me move on with completing my analysis of this training document.

Librarians Rely on Good Will Yet They Reframe Explicit Material as Diversity and Inclusion:

In bold and underlined type, the largest text in the document, is the reason librarians get away with doing what groomers cannot do without serious repercussions.  "Libraries and librarians are broadly favorably viewed so libraries are entering this issue from a position of strength - American voters have a high regard for libraries, and certainly have more affinity for libraries and librarians than they do for politicians."  Librarians know they get away with murder, and here it is in black and white.  They can do anything and people will still assume they are fluffy pink rabbits who would hurt a fly.  Just to make this super clear, the trainer points out voters love librarians "more ... than they do ... politicians."  So no need to convince people to s3xualize children since people will side with librarians over politicians anyway, so just plow ahead and do it and you'll get away with it.  Nice.  And that's exactly why today schools are awash with inappropriate materials and grades are plummeting.

"3 in 4 voters say preventing book banning is important to how they decide to vote. It’s especially mobilizing for college educated women."  Remember, they set up a fake poll about book banning when that's not the issue and book banning hasn't happened since 1963, but the goal is political power, not truth.  So it's a great wedge issue, and who cares if it's all based on lies from an organization that knows it's s3xualizing children.  Boy, those "college educated women" really eat this up.

"We won’t need to fight too hard to get people to pay attention. Awareness of the issue is widespread, and book banning is fully opposed by half of American voters (an additionally 41% hold a middle of the road position)."  Again with the fake poll.  What, is this the fourth time that fake poll has been used to fool people?  But as to not "fight[ing] too hard" because "awareness of the issue is widespread," well he leaves out that ALA has been spreading that awareness.  He leaves out that ALA trains librarians that "sustained uh messaging that reframes the issue" is "need[ed]."  And that sustained messaging has been going on for decades, and here we are, "awareness of the issue is widespread."  How convenient and self serving.

He saves his last bullet for the Republicans.  He knows the Democrats are going to accept the lies hook, line and sinker.  So he's training library boards and librarians to "heighten discomfort for the Republican politicians who support book banning," as if anyone supports book banning.  So, "we suggest focusing on this group for persuasion efforts, (i.e. identify people on the right who oppose all book banning and activate them to speak up.)"  Emphasis in original.  Are you getting this?  If Republicans are speaking in opposition to "book banning," they have been "activated" by these people s3xualizing school children.

That's the end of the training documentation I got from a whistleblower.  There was not a single sentence that was truthful.  Everything was geared toward lying to people, toward creating a "wedge issue," toward racist and ad hominem attacks, then "activating" Republicans to "heighten discomfort" on the others.  And all to better s3xualize more school children.

And the Biden Administration has made "book banning" a "wedge issue."

How disgusting.

EveryLibrary Documents from Whistleblower:

Here are the documents provided to me by the whistleblower about the training he received as a library trustee from EveryLibrary, including the IRS Form 990s for the different EveryLibrary entities:

Note:  These documents were given to the whistleblower library board member by EveryLibrary in the course of training it provided to a public library.  So they were legally obtained.  I have to say this to head off any false claims made by EveryLibrary to try to get my report here censored.  That whistleblower sent me those legally obtained documents sua sponte.  So I legally obtained them.  None have proprietary markings of any kind.  Actually, they strongly recommend distribution of the documents—for "Long-Term Inoculation" of "legislators and local leaders" against parents:

Remember, long term inoculation is what ALA trains librarians to do, as displayed above, where it says: 

But ultimately, we found that the thing that needs to happen most, and it needs to happen before these bills are introduced, is sustained uh messaging that reframes this issue um that uh that takes it away from the idea that these are inappropriate for minors, or sexually inappropriate for minors, and promotes them as diverse materials and programming that are about inclusion, fairness, and protection of everybody's right to see themselves, and their families reflected in the books in the public library.

And here's a video of one of the EveryLibrary people giving his training to librarians, training that comprises the documents linked above and that is freely available online (hat tip Haley Kennington @LadyKennington):

Isn't it inspiring when that EveryLibrary trainer, Peter Bromberg, who's training librarians and trustees to use "long-term inoculation" to get people to accept the Marxist-infused "Library Bill of Rights" also uses the Marxist fist to promote the First Amendment and EveryLibrary?  So patriotic!

What a coincidence!  Just like ALA with its Marxist President—there's that Marxist fist again!  #RebelReader!  A child reading child p*rn.  What a rebel!  

Documents Filled with Gold:

The whistleblower-provided documents linked above are filled with gold.  I've analyzed just the one two page one.  The others, eight pages and 133 pages, are equally filled with flat out misinformation and lies, line after line.  

Even the obligatory attack on Moms For Liberty is there, with ALA's signature means of never naming ALA's alleged enemies.  As you read this attack, know it's pure projection (like complaining about "right wing media and social media channels" when they train themselves to cultivate friendly media and improve their own use of social media), uses the typical word definition changes (like "diverse content") and scare quotes (like "'parental rights'"), and it's in reaction to ALA's increasing its harm to children—then they complain and call us extremists when we notice:

So this organization that promotes ALA training that the Biden Administration now uses for its "banned books" wedge issue also trains library boards and librarians to violate law, including open public records laws: "Note: these are roles to be filled by civilians, not librarians.  Any work done to ID or work with citizens acting in these roles should not be done on work time, or with work resources.  Do not use work email or phones."  See page 6 here:

Wow, an organization training people to violate law precisely to hide from parents and politicians how they are s3xualizing and indoctrinating children is the source for the Biden Administration's wedge issue on "book banning."  

And here, on pages 115 and 121, it trains librarians how to lie to parents about the very book "Gender Queer" that has been removed from many schools under the Pico case:

I have to stop because the lies are so many I could write a book.  Librarians should lose all credibility since they operate under these deceptive guidelines that target children.  And I'll be happy to provide anyone with further analysis and detail on any of the other EveryLibrary (ALA) training documents I have provided, as provided to me by a whistleblower.  More whistleblower input is welcome.

Others See the Propaganda As Well:

And others see the pure propaganda as well, like these examples:

Schultz, Madeline Fry. “The Book-Banning Narrative Being Pushed by Democrats and the Media is a Mirage.” Washington Examiner, June 9, 2023. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/book-banning-narrative-democrats-media-mirage:

“The Democrats and the Biden administration are broadly relying on Americans’ first blush instincts being with them, and not unreasonably so,” Eden explained.  “In the abstract, of course, being opposed to book bans polls well.  But they’re also counting on Americans never learning what’s actually going on in these schools and what these parents are actually objecting to.”

Kurpis, Jon. “School Librarians and the False Book Banning Narrative.” Substack newsletter. Jon Kurpis Official Substack (blog), May 26, 2023. https://kurpis.substack.com/p/school-librarians-and-the-false-book:

Providing vivid p[]rnography to underage children does not make you a good school librarian or a progressive educator.  It makes you a groomer and a reckless danger to students.

(Anonymous Whistleblower Library Director) Kleinman, Dan. “The Banned Books Hustle.” SafeLibraries® (blog), September 17, 2022. https://safelibraries.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-banned-books-hustle.html:

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.

Greene, Jay. “Are School Libraries Banning Thousands of Books? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Trust the Left’s Narrative.” The Daily Signal, May 11, 2023. https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/05/11/fact-checking-dispels-the-book-banning-fiction/:

It is simply false that 2,532 books were removed from schools during the 2021-2022 school year. We know this is false because we examined online card catalogues and found that 74% of the books PEN America identified as banned from school libraries are actually listed as available in the catalogues of those school districts. In many cases we could see that copies of those books are currently checked out and in use by students. 

Call to Action:

I have provided you with smoking gun evidence of training for the s3xualization and indoctrination of children by ALA (EveryLibrary) given to me by a whistleblower library board member.  It's your job to read it, learn it, and recognize it when these exact same lies and misdirection are used in your own communities by librarians and library trustees who are trained to sneak around you and who no longer should have your good will:

1. Activating Support: How to Talk About Book Banning; Voter Perceptions of Book Bans in the United States (2 pages)
2. Intellectual Freedom and Book Challenges; Effective Board Policies and Preparation for Difficult Situations (8 pages)
3. Intellectual Freedom and Book Challenges; Effective Board Policies and Preparing for Difficult Situations in a Polarized World (133 pages) 

Well, did you read them?  Then click above and read them!!

Let me add that, for standing up against the s3xualization of kids in schools, Moms for Liberty has been attacked by ALA as shown above and elsewhere, Southern Poverty Law Center, mainstream media, the Biden Administration, and I just noticed by Big Tech as well, as shown below.  Obviously they are doing something right:

BREAKING: Moms For Liberty is being smeared by @Google #BigTech #SiliconCensors election interference as @JoeBiden now opposes "banned books," the very problem @Moms4Liberty seeks to address. @DuckDuckGo @bing give clean responses. @Brave so so.@RonColeman @GOPChairwoman @GOP pic.twitter.com/wlU10HBana

— Dan Kleinman of SafeLibraries® (@SexHarassed) June 19, 2023

The greatest thing you can do is run for and get on school and library boards!!  Then don't be fooled by EveryLibrary and ALA.  That's the best way to change what these people are doing to harm our children and our country.

Lastly, oppose Secretary Cardona and the US Department of Education plans to implement ALA policy.  So get involved and oppose that as it's based on the pure propaganda laid out above.

Conclusion:

Whatever's happening to s3xualize kids, American Library Association librarians stand at the center of it.  I just proved it's all based on propagandistic training by ALA people (EveryLibrary) that incorporates ALA's, well, extremist policies, like the Marxism embedded in its "Library Bill of Rights" that Illinois just made law.  It's extremist to give children s3xually inappropriate material.  It's librarians who are the extremists, not the parents and legislators trying to stop them from s3xualizing children.

And now the Biden Administration is taking these extremist views nationwide—because groomer librarians said "banned books" would be a "wedge issue" based on faked information.

NOTE ADDED 22 JUNE 2023:
