Residents of a Texas city are waiting
to see if the local public library truly listened to their concerns regarding
the promotion of the homosexual agenda.
After parents discovered that the
public library in Temple, TX had set up a pro-LGBTQ lifestyle display in the
children’s section, local resident – Joe Goodson of Concerned Christian
Citizens (CCC) – met with library officials. He posed that if they were going to promote
that lifestyle, then they should also have a display of books that might help
individuals leave that lifestyle behind.
At the quarterly board meeting of CCC,
40-50 residents showed up, and 80% of them delivered a message: “That is a
political agenda that doesn’t apply to our town, and we really don’t want you
to do this again,” Goodson reports.
Library officials say the program is
one promoted by the American Library Association (ALA), which is known to be extremely
liberal and fails to consider the beliefs of people whom the libraries serve.
So CCC is asking for the local public
library to reconsider. “They are
rewriting their policy, or perhaps even just writing their policy now, and we
really believe that could go either way,” Goodson told OneNewsNow. “What we want
when it comes to books in a library – that’s one thing. But when it comes to taking a non-neutral advocacy
position … they need to stand back from our children.”
Concerned residents of Temple, TX
appear to have the library officials’ attention and have made it clear that they
will not tolerate the promotion of an immoral lifestyle that does not reflect
the view of most of the town’s residents.
In light of this evidence of the ALA
influence on local public libraries, perhaps you ought to visit your own
community library and see what (if any) non-biblical worldview is being
promoted in recommended reading or display.
