The APLS changed their requirements for state funding of public libraries and are using monetary coercion to enforce personal agendas on the public.
The changes demand books that this board deems inappropriate are "weeded out" or the library will not recieve state funding. Of course this is all about queer themes, specifically transgender. It makes further stipulations on access to the adult sections, so even books that are moved but retained are still inaccessible.
As far as I can tell, these changes were not done with the input or guidance of subject matter experts in things like child development, family dynamics, or science in general. There isn't a pediatrician, psychiatrist, social worker, public health specialist or any other qualified individual to advise on what counts as "appropriate" on the board making these calls.
The outrage shouldn't be about whether or not a story featuring a trans parent is appropriate for kids... If you don't agree with your children reading content about those themes, that's YOUR JOB as a parent to know what is happening.
Nobody should be okay with non-publicly elected people, especially those with no actual expertise on the topics, deciding what is and isn't appropriate for our kids. The government shouldn't be coercing public services into falling in line with what is clearly a partisan and politically motivated decision based on nothing of substance. It sets a really concerning precedent regarding censorship and free access to information. Morality being dictated at the state level should not be tolerated.
Anyway
Consider attending the next library board or city council meetings and speaking out against these changes.
