Alabama Mayor Calls for Defunding Library Unless They Remove Graphic LGBT Books From Kids Section
An Alabama mayor is calling for the library to be defunded unless they remove graphic LGBTQ books from the kids’ section.
Ozark Mayor Mark Blankenship posted about his grievances with the library on Facebook.
“We have been trying to remove this trash from the kids section of our library for several months,” Blankenship wrote. “We have been told several times it would be removed. It never happens and the library receives three or four more books per month.”
The Ozark Dale County Public Library Board has announced a special meeting “in light of an informal request to remove all LGBTQ books from the Young Adult section.”
Blankenship wrote of the session, “I know most of you are too busy to attend this meeting but you can contact your city council or county commission members and encourage them to cut their funding to the Dale County Library.
