Texas is Latest State to Sever Ties With Left Wing ALA
The American Library Association has continued to move leftward and states are starting to cut ties with them. They recently put a "Marxist lesbian" and member of the Democratic Socialists of America in charge of the organization.
Quote:Texas joins states abandoning American Library Association over left-wing ideologies
Republican Rep. Brian Harrison called cutting ties a 'huge win' against an organization that has bowed to woke agendas, including drag queen story hours, tips on how to 'sneak' LGBT materials to kids without parental knowledge, and publicly endorsing and participating in initiatives to promote LGBT books in school libraries.
(LifeSiteNews) — Texas has become the latest in a slew of states rejecting the left-wing propaganda of the American Library Association (ALA) and cutting ties with the national organization.
Rep. Brian Harrison, who demanded his state leave the organization last month over concerns that its president is a self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian,” announced Thursday that the Texas State Library & Archives Commission had decided to cut ties with the ALA. The Republican lawmaker celebrated the development as a “huge win.”
The ALA has been under fire for the past several years due to its efforts to bow to woke ideologies, including drag queen story hours, tips on how to “sneak” LGBT materials to kids without parental knowledge, and publicly endorsing and participating in initiatives to promote LGBT books in school libraries.
While the top U.S. library organization continues down the path of left-wing agendas, some states have recognized the dangerous potential of these ideologies being passed along to their children. Before Texas’ exit from the group, several states voiced opposition to the concerning Marxist influence leading the ALA, including Idaho, Mississippi, Montana and Wyoming.
“Less than one month after I requested the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to cut ties with the American Library Association, I am excited to report that they just informed me they will not renew their contract with them!” Harrison said.
“This is a win for all Texans, and I applaud the courageous and decisive decision by Chairwoman Martha Wong. Texas should be leading the fight against dangerous Marxist ideology — not subsidizing it with my constituents’ hard earned tax dollars. I’ll continue fighting to protect Texans from having their money weaponized against them, their values, and their children.”
The move comes nearly a month after Harrison wrote to Wong requesting that the state committee abandon its connection with the ALA, which recently hired Emily Drabinski to be president, “a self-proclaimed ‘Marxist lesbian’ and member of the Democrat Socialists of America.”
“Taxpayer funded indoctrination has no place in Texas, yet Ms. Drabinski has promised to radicalize the ALA to ‘advance a public agenda that puts organizing for justice at the center of library work,’” Harrison wrote in his July 20 letter to Wong. “In 2013, she published a paper entitled, ‘Queering the Catalog: Queer Theory and the Politics of Correction,’ where she explicitly opposes library neutrality in favor of forcing librarians to become ‘politically engaged’ from a ‘queer perspective.’”

Please come back to reality. When the OP introduces the article as…
Quote:They recently put a "Marxist lesbian" and member of the Democratic Socialists of America in charge of the organization.
… shows how out of touch with reality you are. So again no thanks to Texas.

She self identifies as a Marxist lesbian. How does pointing out her self identified identity diminish the OP? And it’s a fact that her political affiliation is also affirmed by her. Not the OP’s fault that he included facts.

RE: Texas is Latest State to Sever Ties With Left Wing ALA
I said when Biden was installed and started pushing all the federal overreach of the far left garbage that Texas and Florida would have to be the 2 states to lead the way for sanity. They have 2 of the absolute best governors in the US. Sending all those illegal aliens to sanctuary cities was a thing of beauty. Make those virtue signaling jerk offs suffer. Desantis fighting Disney’s grooming, Abbott making an effort to secure the border that Biden and the cackling c-m swallowing slut won’t do, and on and on it goes.

In one tweet. Why not apply the same rigor to Trump’s tweets?
And is it her that is banning books or the GOP?
We already know the answer to both.
