Another state has given the boot to the American Library Association "over its promotion of Marxism" and its pro-porn advocacy, where it insists on providing "sexually explicit reading materials to children," new report confirms.
Already, the extreme positions on a number of issues has prompted rejection of the ALA by the Montana State Library Commission, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and the states of Missouri and South Carolina, as well as a list of county library organizations.
Now the Washington Stand reports Florida has joined the "growing number" of states rejecting the ALA's leftist social and political agendas.
Florida’s Division of Library and Information Services, a division of the Florida Department of State, issued a new rule stipulating that it would 'not allow grant project activities associated' with the American Library Association or its affiliates, Politico reported," the report said.
The ALA previously had fought Florida plans to remove sexually explicit books from schools, and the American Association of School Librarians, a part of ALA, joined with an activist organization fighting to keeping inappropriate materials for children.
"The great upheaval in educational institutions is most welcome and long overdue," Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon told The Washington Stand. "Congratulations to Florida for making this move, and I hope other states will find it difficult to justify association with the porn-promoting, progressive ALA."
Many of the concerns, which already existed because of the ALA's long history of promoting offensive material, came to a head when the ALA chose Emily Drabinski as its president, and she celebrated with the words, "I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of the @ALALibrary."
In The Stand, Kilgannon continued, "Parents who have tried to get books that are inappropriate for children restricted by age or removed altogether often find the book approval process used by their school systems requires NO ONE to read the books (including library staff) and was designed in consultation with left-wing groups like the ALA."
Kilgannon said community vigilance is what is needed to examine public facilities such as libraries.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
