"We’re almost through Pride Month. While many aspects of this “celebration” come off as tasteless at best, what’s truly sickening about it is the indoctrination efforts this event directs toward young children.
"Public libraries, where drag queen story hours and pride displays are all too common, are one of the primary venues for this indoctrination. Many of the books on display in children’s areas present explicitly sexual material, like the one at a local library showing someone’s naked backside in a pride parade and informing children that some people prefer not to wear clothes.
"But these things aren’t just issues during the month of June; propaganda at the library is a year-round problem. Our family has found it increasingly difficult to check books out from the children’s section without accidentally taking home an LGBTQ propaganda piece. For example, my kids love books about animals, so they grabbed And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, the cover illustration showing two adult penguins with their cute, fuzzy chick. Turns out, the two penguins are a pair of bonded males at the zoo who just want a chick of their own. The zookeeper provides them with an egg so they can be dads together. Pretty subtle.
"The amount and intensity of the propaganda can feel overwhelming, but Pride Month also offers an opportunity to beat these progressive propagandists at their own game. I recently witnessed this in action from a local parenting group, whose efforts (we can only assume) prompted the library to remove its Pride display in favor of a Caribbean American Heritage Month display (that’s a thing?). The parent group didn’t picket or argue; instead, it used tactics that forced the library’s hand by working within the system.". . . Full article here
