Lori-Mark Blankenship

 5日 プライバシー設定: 公開
We have been trying to remove this trash from the kids section of our library for several months. We have been told several times it would be removed. It never happens and the library receives three or four more books per month. 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. If we cut the funding they will be closed and our children will not be exposed to this mess. It’s time the majority of the people stand up and address this liberal mess in Alabama. Thank you Mayor Blankenship..

    Banning books now. This is insane. Its up to parents to monitor what books they want their children to read!

    Man, this is just embarrassing. You are supposed to be a leader and would rather be polarizing and push out a portion on your community over your own personal beliefs. You would rather remove resources from your community than do your due diligence to ...

    This is disgraceful. If an individual is worried about what their child is reading they have ever right to police the books they read. They do not, however, have the right to take the access or freedom of access to those books from other parents who wo...

    Ok so idk if someone has said this yet cause I haven’t read all the comments. This is a PUBLIC Library! That means it’s for everyone in the community to use. It’s not a church or a private library. It’s there to serve the whole community not just the s...

    Yeeeeesh. So just because the book contains LGBTQ references it’s being compared to pornography. Imagine being sexualized for just existing.
    I swear some people think being LGBTQ is synonymous with being perverse. ...

    What I’m not understanding is why people think a book with LGBTQ characters is inherently sexual. No one is writing books for young adults that contain sexual themes and descriptions. A YA romance novel with a gay character is exactly the same as one w...

    How long have the books been available? Seems like they’ve been there bothering absolutely NO ONE and seems like our mayor has entirely TOO much time on his/her hands 💁🏽‍♀️ ( can’t tell if it’s hubby or wife posting this)

    Remove the referred books from the access by children and youth who are not young adults. Cut the funding sounds like a good response, if decision is made to keep the books.

    This is an embarrassment and disappointment. Censorship has no place in freedom.
    You are deliberately advocating against freedom of choice.

    It’s sad that we have this going on in Ozark. These books are placed in the children’s section for a reason. This is an adult issue, let the children be children.

    Do you know how many times he has back tracked? First it’s a father with a 15 yr old son who had issues with the books but now it’s a father with a 15 year old daughter. what is it? why are you lying?

    I don't think this is an unreasonable request. You're not asking for censorship; you are asking them to move them to the adult section. Also, since when does 12-18 count as "young adult". Thank you for standing up to protect children.
