Moms for Lib strike again, because Florida public libraries might be dangerous to community.


The newest target of faux-grassroots extremist group Sarasota, FL Moms for Liberty and for their fellow authoritarian extremists are public libraries. The Maga Moms enjoyed attacking school libraries so much that they found a way to make public libraries suffer their wrath. They targeted the Sarasota County Public Library System's membership in the American Library Association, the profession organization of United States libraries and librarians. And the county commissioners voted 4 to 1 to terminate the county libraries ALA membership.
Yes, that Sarasota, Florida--the Belly of the Beast, where traitor Flynn, Bridget Ziegler, founding mom4, and their magaty kind roam freely, and the Boys are Proud. The excuse for going after ALA membership by the County libraries--"Marxist infiltration," and possible "queering" of the libraries (the filthy way the Magats contort language for their purposes is grist for another discussion).
The real reason is almost certainly the way the ALA keeps track of "banned books," or any library materials that have been challenged by groups or individuals. For decades the ALA has compiled yearly lists of banned books. ALA makes it easy to keep track of the alarming increase in book banning in recent years, and the Moms aren't having that. They will not tolerate such rude, godless interference with their efforts to take control uber alles.

Liberty means "the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views."

As usual, the goons use names that are the total opposite of their own actions.

Tyranny is not liberty.

They need to just be honest and call themselves Klanned Karenhood.
