The South Carolina State Library announced it is not renewing its membership with the American Library Association (ALA), slamming the group’s “unprofessional” embrace of far-left politics. “ALA's actions appear to be activism for certain groups of people and not advocacy for libraries and all of the people they serve,” wrote Agency Director Leesa Aiken in a letter to ALA Executive Director Tracie Hall.

At a conference on socialism this Labor Day weekend, American Library Association (ALA) President Emily Drabinski expressed her desire to make libraries and schools fronts for “socialist organizing.” Drabinski, who describes herself as a “Marxist lesbian,” has caused several states to break ties with the ALA. https://catholicvote.org/ala-president-public-libraries-leftist/

Emily Drabinski, the controversial president of the American Library Association (ALA), previously expressed she wants to re-center children's libraries on "notions of queerness" and prevent what she described as "angry, White mob parents" from trying to block the efforts. State lawmakers have cited Drabinski’s radical views as a reason for public libraries to end their relationship with the library group.

The Montana State Library Commission voted to formally disassociate from the ALA, saying their “oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist.” Emily Drabinski, a self-described lesbian Marxist, was elected to serve as president of the ALA last year. https://catholicvote.org/mt-state-library-commission-breaks-ties-with-ala/

Democratic Chair Under Fire After Suggesting 'Eugenics' Plan to Reduce Special Ed Students

But the Democratic committee chair had far more to say than that which appears in the anti-life proclamation. In his comments aimed at supporting the proclamation, Hugo proffered the eugenics-based policy of killing babies that may suffer disabilities after birth.

That was exceptional. Was a frequent patron of our local library. Was President of the Friends of the Library.

Fun fact. Our library system, North Central Regional Library, won a lawsuit against the ACLU representing perverts who complained the library system had a filter so they couldn't view their porn.

From 2012, "The North Central Regional Library may continue to filter the Internet to block porn and gambling sites, a federal court judge ruled Tuesday."

This was after the lawsuit went through the State Supreme Court where the NCRL also won:

"We conclude that a library can, subject to the limitations set forth in this opinion, filter Internet access for all patrons, including adults, without violating article I, section 5 of the Washington State Constitution."
