Washington Post: A Michigan Town Defunds Their Local Library Over the Librarian's Insistence on Lending the Gay Pornographic Comic Book for Children Gender Queer Out
Oh no! It's as if citizens have the right to decide what their tax monies will be spent upon, rather than an intransigent civil service reactionary pink-haired leftist paid by those taxes!
A community wanted the local library that their tax dollars funded to stop lending out the gay pornographic graphic novel (comic book) "Gender Queer" (aka "Toni Morrison's Beloved, as Hot Air readers might know it, as that's the only way AllahPundit refers to it). The librarian refused. The town defunded the library. The Washington Post is sad, and demands that underaged children have access to gay pornographic comic books.
To librarians had quit since the trouble began, and Kaitlin McLaughlin didn't want to be the third. But the same term kept coming up in board meetings and on yard signs, making her feel awkward and wrongly accused: grooming. People in this western Michigan farming town said the Patmos Library was "grooming" children and, according to fliers that one group printed, promoting an "LGBTQ ideology." They said bookshelves meant for young readers featured same-sex pornography.It does. It has drawings of a man -- or an "older teen" -- literally putting his dick into a boy's mouth. If you don't believe me, a picture of that is at the top this article. It's called "Toni Morrison's Beloved -- AllahPundit's Quest for Artistic Freedom." Librarians have twisted into pretty sick creatures. Communities have repeatedly told them: You can carry pornographic books if you like, but make them age-restricted so that our children cannot access them. You know, the way children are not allowed generally to watch pornographic movies, view pornographic magazines, or peruse the shelves of pornographic book-shops. Time and time again librarians have haughtily refused, citing some non-existent right that children have to view pornography. One suspects they just don't want to be hassled checking IDs, or making a special adults-only aisle. Actually, I don't suspect that. They have really made this a defining dogma of their silly profession. But librarians across the country have repeatedly insisted that when children come into the library, they may read any pornographic book they like, or watch any X-rated movie the library might have. Or view any x-rated content on the library's computers over the internet. These bitter twisted freaks just keep insisting that "information wants to be free" -- in children's pants. They live very lonely, boring, useless (and usually childless, go figure) lives and have decided they will make their Drama in providing pornography to children against parents' wishes, and call themselves Heroes for standing up to the Squares.
They called the staff pedophiles, McLaughlin said. Then one August morning, they voted to defund Jamestown's only public library, jeopardizing the institution's future as neighbors clashed over who gets to decide free speech in this deep-red corner of America. "I'm not a 'groomer,' " said McLaughlin, 34, gathering children's books for a lunchtime story hour. "I'm not a pedophile. I'm afraid of what people see when they look at me." The vitriol in Jamestown spiked with the rise of groups campaigning across the United States to banish texts with LGBTQ characters, accusing authors, teachers and librarians of trying to brainwash the nation's youth. The American Library Association said it counted an "unprecedented" number of book ban attempts in 2021, noting that most of the titles dealt with sexual orientation, gender identity or racism. Americans have long sought to censor literature -- "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was an 1852 target for its anti-slavery message -- but debates over transgender rights and critical race theory have lately spawned aggressive grass-roots movements to control the worldviews shared with children.I don't remember Uncle Tom's Cabin being filled with pictures of man's dicks in boy's mouths.
Obviously, yes. The group Gays Against Groomers* makes a point about this: the groomers are using the Rainbow Flag as cover for their grooming and actual pedophilia. No one, but no one, would ever say that it's okay to give a kid a comic book showing kids sucking each other off if the kids were straight; but now we say "Oh but this is a gay coming of age story!," and everyone is supposed to say, "Oh well then it's perfectly okay to distribute pornography of underaged children performing sodomy on each other! Why didn't you say so straight away?!" It's being asserted that if you just stick a Rainbow Flag on what would otherwise be acknowledged to be child porn, the Rainbow Flag washes the sin away and makes it clean and pure. No it does not. The Rainbow Flag is not some kind of dispensation from God making Minor Attracted Person material, including sexualized drag shows, acceptable for viewing by children. The gay lobby and their leftwing straight "allies" are doing gays no favors in the court of public opinion by endorsing this bizarre regime of "It's OK If It's Gay" dispensation for child sexualization. I can't believe anyone even has to explain this. Let me put this in a way that Twitter Liberals can understand: "Um, it's a *bad look,* guys."
... The National Library Association's young adult branch named 10 winners in 2020, including a post-apocalyptic thriller about a boy searching for his lost dog, a science-fiction horror about twins with superpowers and a memoir about growing up nonbinary called "Gender Queer." Amber McLain, the library's director at the time, ordered a copy of each. Pink-haired and openly queer, the 30-year-old stood out in a county that hadn't backed a Democrat for president since 1864. Yet people embraced McLain, her former colleagues and patrons said. "She helped bring my son out of his shell," said one mother, Sara Crockett, checking out a STEM toy kit on a recent afternoon. "He'd light up when he saw her."
"I miss Miss Amber," 5-year-old Cecil said, clutching her hand. Nobody complained about McLain until last November, after video of a Virginia mother condemning "Gender Queer" as "pornographic" took off on social media and protests against the memoir spread nationwide. The 239-page graphic novel contains illustrations of masturbation, a sex toy and oral sex, as well as depictions of menstrual blood. Fans saw the scenes as part of the author's coming-of-age experience, while critics blasted them as sabotage to developing minds. "Gender Queer" became the most banned book of 2021. Some parents found a copy in the Patmos Library and created a Facebook group called "Jamestown Conservatives" pushing for its removal. One of the organizers, Lauren Nykamp, declined to be interviewed but responded to some of The Washington Post's questions over text. "This is not about LGBTQ material," she said. "It is about sexualized material."
* Banned from Twitter. Obviously. You can groom on Twitter, you just can't be against grooming on Twitter.

Put it to the test:
If I or any of you ran around a park and told Other People's children all about My/Your sex life and showed them cartoons of sex-acts, would we not be arrested and put on the Sex Offender's registry?
Of course!
Then why is it okay for "teachers" and "librarians" do the same in a school or library?

I've been saying this. How "weird" it is they want to suddenly hide/protect pedophilia right behind LOLGBT, as if there's some kind of message there for everyone.
All they're proving is that the people who wanted to stop the distribution and widespread (eeew) acceptance of "gay" in the first place were entirely 100% indisputably correct.
But what they're really trying to prove is that now you *can't* stop them.

If you "fire" the librarian, you're open to a Wrongful Termination suit, with liabilities far above that of mere "unemployment insurance".
But by closing the library, at least in THIS fiscal year, you've eliminated the existence of position itself, and the former employee can't bitch about being wrongfully replaced, etc.
In fact, technically, she'd be welcome to reapply, should they re-open the library in a subsequent year. (but I'm sure they'd find a better candidate this time around!)
They should let us in to reorganize the place. We'd quadruple the Military History section, and put it front and center near the entrance. LOL

These are leftists, living their deep state life on the public dime.
Pushing porn is their new 'cause'. Just as with the brain dead teachers pushing the same crap, they have convinced themselves that they are the new monks keeping civilization alive...by grooming.

The public library was one of my joys as a small child. It's a shame what they've become in most urban locales: homeless shelters run by weirdoes. I don't see why the town did not just fire its librarians and hire some normies to do the job (likely at a reduced salary) in this case though.

Of course, the secret to political power is to get spineless people to do what you want. So we will be succeeding through floppy Abbott as our way of progress.

Exactly, Chuy.
You can indeed talk about the stolen election all day long on social media, as long as you're saying it's a "debunked conspiracy theory."
You can talk about vaccinations all day long on twitter. As long as you're "Pro" vax.
You can talk about sex-acts with minors all day long on twitter, as long you're Pro sex-acts with minors.

yeah or just "lose" it, wait for Mr. Bookman to come collect it in 30 years.
Because of the mention of that Seinfeld episode here a few weeks back, I'm reading Tropic of Cancer.
I thought it was going to be all highbrow allusions, like a more modern Tess of the D'Urbervilles or something, so I was a little surprised when Henry Miller gets into full-blown vulgarity right away.

I really don't understand the book banning thing. If parents want to give their kids books about kids sucking each other off, there is always amazon. It's not like the library is the only place a kid can get this stuff.
Oh, right. It has to be done in secret, without the parents KNOWING. You know, don't tell mom and dad stuff. Which is like, you know, totally normal for a 35 year old adult to be encouraging kids to do.
All those librarians shuuushing people - It's all a secret see...

still can't wrap my mind around why "adults chatting up kids in graphic, lurid detail" is the hill the left has chosen to defend.
----------
One of the hills. Other hills include:
- A borderless country where illegals have more rights than citizens
- Setting violent criminals free
- A person with advanced dementia with his finger on The Button
- Constant racial grievance mongering
- The infiltration and destruction of every single thing you hold dear
- A surveillance and censorship society full of punishment for those who disagree either in the past or possibly *future* with the current ever-shifting dogma
- A worthless, pointless "living" Constitution nullified because it was written by racists 250 years ago, which *simultaneously* contains a bunch of sacrosanct unwritten rights and rules that must be followed to the letter
And so many more!

It means I've acknowledged your right to exist, to breathe air, to pursue happiness. I can't risk that. If a kiddie diddler calls it art, and you call it offensive, it's art. Always was always will be. So please just go away before somebody sees us near each other.

I retired last winter from a 20-year career as a public librarian. It was my dream job, and I like to think that I was good at it... but we returned from lockdown to a new generation of administrators, and a new mission: No longer information access, now it was all about Social Justice. Which meant, among other things, that a staffer could insist on plural pronouns; that my hijabi colleague could wear her Free Palestine shirt, but I didn't dare wear my Friends of the IDF ball cap; and that the administration warned us about the right-wing terrorist group Libs of TikTok. It's sad when one has no place anymore in what was once one's professional home. Just saying.

"The Rainbow Flag washes the sin away and makes it clean and pure"
This has always been an underlying rule of "gay rights", it's not new. I can't count how many times I've seen stories about a man fucking a dude behind his wife's back and it's seen as "brave" when he comes out because he's "being true to himself"
Meanwhile, he took vows, married someone, and decided to cheat on them. That's what it is.
But cheating is morally okay, to be lauded actually! if you're a closeted gay guy.

Jim Crow goes woke
Racial segregation is back in the US. That old foul practice that most of us thought had been done away with by the 1964 Civil Rights Act has been given some politically correct spit-and-polish. Jim Crow’s gone woke. Consider the University of California, Berkeley. A student house there has decreed that white people are forbidden in its common areas. People of colour, the house says, must have the right to ‘avoid white violence and presence’. Therefore, no honkies allowed. The colour line resurrected to protect allegedly fragile blacks from devilish whites.

@2 2 I don't really understand. If they could close the library, couldn't they just fire the recalcitrant librarian?
----
I suspect that someone(s) in the bureaucracy was shielding the librarian. Also, it's not clear from Ace's info exactly how the library was defunded. If the City Council did it, that's one thing. But if fed up parents put an initiative on the ballot that subsequently passed, that's another. You can't generally target a non-elected individual with a ballot proposition. They had to eliminate the librarian's job, instead.

Because they think if its queer or tranny or otherwise perverse and sexually corrupted then its sanctified, because of Oppressed Other. People bullied little erin/aaron who had pink hair and decided she was a he at age 8, and that's cruel! We have to protect these people and stop the bullies! What they do is right, and even if its not right, well who are we to judge and besides we have to right the scales of justice by pushing up really hard on one side!!!!
Its why George Takei could talk about sexing up children and being molested and raped by men as a child which led to his poufter lifestyle, and people shrug.

I suspect that someone(s) in the bureaucracy was shielding the librarian. Also, it's not clear from Ace's info exactly how the library was defunded. If the City Council did it, that's one thing. But if fed up parents put an initiative on the ballot that subsequently passed, that's another. You can't generally target a non-elected individual with a ballot proposition. They had to eliminate the librarian's job, instead.

Lots of Libraries throughout the country represent their own taxing body.
Illinois has a taxing district for almost everything you can think of.
I am pretty sure the residents of that taxing district can bring a referendum to defund it - although I am sure the process is convoluted!

The ALA (American Library Association) is as woke as they/them come.
One of our local libraries pulled out of the ALA due to it and is now, for a host of reasons, a 'private' library. When they removed themselves from the auspicious of the ALA, the county library organization threatened to pull all pubic funding (no typo). The library told them: F*ck you. War! Public $$$ went bye-bye and we went to a non-profit, private funding model.
And no gay bullshit or tranny presentations. The local farmers are not down with that shit.

I donated one of my books to the local library years back. They took it gladly with a little dedication in the front in gratitude for all the decades of joy and reading I'd gotten from them.
I went in earlier this year and they don't do that any more. No you have to go online and fill out a form suggesting they get a book, which is handled by an outside firm. The library doesn't even deal with acquisitions any more.
They've deleted a ton of older books I used to read. They have even deleted a ton of newer books, notably the SPQR Rome mysteries by Maddox. No explanation why, just gone now. I was able to get a copy of one of the books through Amazon -- a former library book from another state. It seems like its a trend to rid libraries of these books.
Nothing in them seems objectionable to anyone, but by damn they're being offloaded. Probably took up too much room on the shelves; gotta get those new queer studies and tranny black Puerta Rican authors on the stacks.

"Even mixed-race marriage risks being problematized.
As one scientist, herself in a mixed-race marriage, wrote last year, the woke ideology that says ‘all white people are oppressors, while people of other racial groups are oppressed victims’ leads to a situation where ‘every interaction between white and non-white people’ is seen as oppressive, even in the marital home. This oppressor / victim narrative ‘erases my love for my husband. It erases my humanity’, she said."

Real life story related to this, which I will try to anonymize to preserve opsec.
I was at a "club" meeting, and was talking to a libtard friend who had experience in the public library circles. I asked him about his education in library science - what did they teach you, etc. Was it more than the Dewey Decimal System? LOL
He talked about, classifying, management, selection of materials, etc. and also censorship. It was interesting to me, because, wtf is special about a 'librarian degree'?
He went on to complain that the right-wingers we're protesting and harassing this Jamestown librarian because of some materials they wanted censored. This poor woman was stressing out and might be forced to quit because of the stress.

Sometimes it's purely chemical.
But you *can* try monitoring your thoughts for unwanted ones and deciding you don't want them anymore. It helps a lot to talk them out with someone, but just breaking the cycle of unwanted thoughts is very powerful. Ultimately you can't exactly control your emotions but you can tell your mind what you will and will not accept thinking about. Helps to start with a particular kind of thought that you know isn't good.
For example every time your head goes into the past and you find yourself lingering there, in things that are long since over and finished. Cut it off as soon as you spot it. Tell yourself you don't want to go there because it's not healthy. Chances are you will soon find yourself back there again. So you stop it again. Eventually you get earlier and earlier in the thought process and your brain learns to stop doing it. And you end up with valuable mind real estate.

Ultimately you can't exactly control your emotions but you can tell your mind what you will and will not accept thinking about. Helps to start with a particular kind of thought that you know isn't good.
For example every time your head goes into the past and you find yourself lingering there, in things that are long since over and finished. Cut it off as soon as you spot it. Tell yourself you don't want to go there because it's not healthy. Chances are you will soon find yourself back there again. So you stop it again. Eventually you get earlier and earlier in the thought process and your brain learns to stop doing it. And you end up with valuable mind real estate.

157 Yes, they just plead guilty to conspiracy to transport stolen goods interstate or some such.
Stolen goods ? A Diary ? That definitely warrants the DOJ on the case

Any Marxist offshoot is the New Improved Colonialism.
Marxism grew up as a Western recognition of the damages of Western Colonialism. Since then the World must be brought under the Western Penitence.
Multicult was the New Colonialism. As was International Feminism--heck "Internationalism" itself is mainly a Western offshoot of Christianity.
That's why these people are sooooooooo screwed up.

Jurassic Park Camp 4th season they have a Gay kiss and relationship (Netflix)
Owl House 2nd season Main Character date, Hold Hands and Kiss, Lesbian relationship. (Disney)
Dead End, The Main Character is Trans,
All of these are aimed for kids 7 and older.
Got rid of Disney and Netflix built my own server, using Synology and started uploaded old shows and Cartoons for my son, he Didn't even notice.
I am tired of this crap. Getting hold of old Cartoons is really hard so I end up buying from EBay uploading them then reselling them on EBay for the same price so it's a wash. Hong Kong Phoey, Speed Buggy, Thundar the Barbarian

As I understand it, the local library's policy is it is not their job to watch your kids. If you drop them off, they are not babysitting them. If they borrow R-rated movies or games, again, that's not their problem, that's on the parents.

The DOJ has decided to prosecute them.
Posted by: AlaBAMA at August 25, 2022 04:39 PM (mZ3xv)
They agreed to plead guilty to taking stolen property across state lines if they testify...presumably against Project Veritas, which is the DOJ's real political target here. Somehow, someway, the DOJ expects to convince a federal judge that Project Veritas owner received and paid for stolen goods brought across state lines.
One assumes that the two that plead guilty for this stretch of the truth in return for suggesting whatever the DOJ told them was going to be the narrative against PV, we're probably guilty of some other offense that the DOJ has agreed not to prosecute them on in return for this sham plea - one that looks likely to give these two no jail time.

I live in Jamestown. They got the millage put pack on the November ballot. I didn't even know about this bullshit, and now that we all do, the millage will lose EVEN HARDER.
Posted by: Kyle Coplen at August 25, 2022 04:13 PM (4rdmu)
Yeah, Michigan is sneaky that way. They put millage renewals (property tax funding) on the ballot during primaries, where turnout is low. Almost always pass at 60-40 percent, with maybe 2000 votes total.
Funny thing is when one fails, OH GOD watch how fast the politicians work to get it back on the next ballot (November).

The main branch of the Denver Public Library.
DPL's main downtown location was a temple of books. An enormous, beautiful structure with an incredible amount of stuff in its stacks and extremely knowledgeable and helpful library staff - at least it was. It was a beacon of literacy and knowledge as its own end up through the mid aughts.
Then the bum encroachment started. You couldn't pay me to walk into the main DPL now. It's basically a vagrant camp now. They've had pleasant outbreaks and infestations - including bedbugs, which are difficult and expensive to get rid of, especially without destroying paper - over the years.
That library was making a concerted effort to approach the platonic ideal of what a library should be, and it's been destroyed. Sacrificed to vagrancy and political correctness.

He went on to complain that the right-wingers we're protesting and harassing this Jamestown librarian because of some materials they wanted censored. This poor woman was stressing out and might be forced to quit because of the stress.
There was a time when I would have been sympathetic. But no more. After more than four years of MAGA sympathizers being beaten, spit at or ostracized, after over a year of being told that those of us who doubt the Kung Flu shot should be put in camps or forced out of our jobs, after seeing literal assassination attempts carried out on 'wrong-think' people, my GAF meter is permanently broken.

No found guilty, they agreed to plea out. In exchange to testifying, though the AP are a little vague on what or who they are testifying against.
So, two knuckleheads, probably guilty of more serious crimes unrelated to this (selling drugs is usually the general theme in these bargains), agreed to cop a plea on something that probably wasn't even a crime in the first place to get leniency, in order to "testify" against...someone or something. Uh huh...sure. You don't need to use your imagination to see what is really going on here...

If you like the seasons, and the Big Lake, then this is a pretty decent red area to live in, although more freaks are popping up every year.

Hmmm, I see a duet with Allison Krause. Kind of twangy.
For all the shit I have given S&G over the years (and I like the cover of the Sounds of Silence better than the original) they did have some good songs. I think I prefer their version of the Boxer.

There's a harsh logic to supporting segregation, whether it's done by blacks or by whites. If you're in favor of it, then you have to be against mixing on any level. Because that puts the lie to an extremists love of segregation.

Screaming, I just want to say that I appreciate what you do. You have prevented some decay serving as a librarian. Sure, there's decay anyway, but your presence and efforts helped to mitigate it. And you were a sane person there for students who were otherwise surrounded by insane people.

Thank you, Emmie. But I'm ashamed to say I've really done nothing except opt out of as much nonsense as I can. I'd like to get out of this entire field, because there is no place for wrongthink from grubby peasants like me, but I'm not qualified for much else.
I keep my eyes open for less objectionable positions/places - there are some - and I am glad at least that I work for a university that didn't mandate the vaxx.

A) Declining readership, and B) move to electronic versions which are easier to store, lend, etc.--both allow c) librarians to have a lesser workload AND higher salaries.
I believe that elites in the Uniparty purposefully want to decivilize the US (and elites in other countries ditto) by destroying education for commoners as well as possible social competition for their own spawn. That means public schools and public libraries are targets for destruction as well as physical books. Airbrushing and eliminating past history is a plan as well as corrupting science, etc.

Ace, I agree totally that the locals should be able to tell their local library not to let kids see that book without parental approval.
But I suspect that you have some details wrong. The book is called "Gender" Queer so I would expect one or more characters to be trans. The picture of oral sex looks to me like a teen girl wearing something that flattens her breasts (like an unflattering sports bra) and also wearing a "strap-on" dildo. I think that's supposed to be an FTM teen, thus the strap-on ("he" doesn't actually have a penis). I'm also not sure but the other person looks female to me.
The internal dialog would also make sense if I'm correct about this scene. "I can't feel anything" Well, yeah, until Dr. Rudy Wells invents the bionic penis, it's just a piece of plastic and not part of your body.
So I guess it's gay sex if being trans is considered being gay. It's also gay sex if they are both actually females.
And maybe some people think it's "okay" for kids to see this because it's a strap-on dildo and not an actual penis? (To be clear: I don't think that.)

I have no intention of buying the book so I didn't think I could check my hypothesis. But the top review on Amazon discusses the controversial scene, and that is supposed to be the author (it's an autobiographical story) and a FTM friend. So, both are biological females.
Quoting one paragraph from the review:
"One controversial drawing occurs when Maia is an adult and is in a consensual, monogamous relationship with another person who was assigned female at birth. Maia’s partner texts to say that they bought a strap-on and that they can’t wait to give Maia a blow-job. In the next panel, there is a picture of what appears to be a person giving a blow job. This is actually a person sucking on a strap-on. But… um… yeah. That’s a pretty big line to cross for a high school library shelf. Enter the controversy!!!"

Actually I don't know if the second person is FTM or just F. The person writing the review wrote "assigned female at birth" which implies but does not state that this person now considers herself to be male.
Also, amusingly, while the person who wrote the review tried very hard to use the made-up pronouns of the author, the person slipped up and used the word "her" once. Cancel this person immediately for anti-trans H8!!!

Well a libertarian is nothing more than a book store clerk with a government pension. So now all the left wing activist who weren't even intelligent enough to become grade school teachers, went and became librarians, so they can have access to all the little children they want to diddle.
This needs to be the Republicans 2022 message, as it seems to be the Dem's entire platform is about making your child think it's okay when other liberals try to molest them.
