Four libraries in New York reversed their decision to remove LGBTQ book displays from children's sections after facing backlash

On Tuesday, four out of seven Smithtown Library Board of Trustees had voted to remove all Pride material displays from the children's section in its Commack, Kings Park, Nesconset and Smithtown locations on Long Island. "All books on this subject are still part of the Library's Children's collection and can be checked out by anyone wishing to do so," The Smithtown Library Board of Trustees had written on its website about the vote.

"The original recommendation was to remove sensitive material from the children's section only based upon complaints by parents in the community." Books about LGBTQ and Black people were among the most challenged books in 2021 Books that tell the stories of Black and LGBTQ people or by authors in those communities topped a 2021 list of the 10 titles that were targeted the most for removal or censorship in schools, libraries and universities, the American Library Association said.

crazy 😐

There is no need for young children to be subjected to sexualising reading. Let them be children. Their childhood lasts for such a short time. Adults projecting their views on innocents. That should be a crime.

Books save lives in so may different ways.

That crap doesn't belong in the children's section. The alphabet group really wants are kids to be weirdos.

Groomers

So if you just “criticize “, then they change their decision! How about the people that criticize putting flags up Really when you go woke, you are easily manipulated!!

Says no-one.

The board must be made of glass.

We have the right to choose 'it' from a number of options, but I think it is important to make the final decision on our own initiative. Amen

Hopefully decent people wont bring their children.

There is a need to focus on the point that direct dialogue between leaders should be encouraged. That's it. Amen

It doesn't matter if Boris Johnson has a good or bad personality, and the point that world public opinion should highlight is that the relationship between Britain and Russia led to the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict, and Britain and Russia both broke out.

🙄

Wow they started to get morals then gave in to the sodomites, sad
