LA FREEDOM CAUCUS URGES THE LA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TO BREAK TIES WITH THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

BATON ROUGE—The Louisiana Freedom Caucus (LAFC) is joining fellow State Freedom Caucus Network states in condemning the American Library Association (ALA) for electing as its new president a self-professed “lesbian Marxist” who is a proponent of “Queering the Catalog” in public libraries.

ALA president-elect Emily Drabinski is set to take over this month as the new head of the group. This large member organization uses public money to not only train librarians and support staff, but according to its own website to promote the LGBTQIA+ agenda. This includes Drag Queen Story Hour for ages as young as toddlers, Rainbow Roundtables that push lists of children’s books for inclusion in libraries, some of which contain graphic pornographic images of male genitalia to instruct young school children in the performance of explicit homosexual activities.

The destruction of the nuclear family has long been a goal of Marxist activists as they seek to undermine American ideals. The election of an openly Marxist president of the group has helped to expose the extent of the corruption of this publicly-funded organization.

As is well documented in Ms. Drabinski’s activities on Twitter, she does not limit her passions to exposing school children to sexually graphic materials but also promotes teaching critical race theory and “equity” of outcomes in life. These are elements of the radical Marxist ideals that are diametrically opposed to America’s founding principles of a level playing field with equality of opportunity for all Americans regardless of race.

We call on the Louisiana Library Association to divest itself from the ALA and all of its un-American, Marxist programs and rhetoric.

“Traditional American values have their basis in Judeo-Christian teachings and traditions. It was on this basis that our nation was founded, and on which our society has operated for over 250 years. The fact that the American Library Association would use public funds to push an openly Marxist agenda, which could not be more un-American, is an astounding example of the deterioration of our culture. We call upon the Louisiana Library Association to divest itself from this group and its teachings, and to return to its traditional role of education and providing positive, uplifting opportunities,” said Louisiana Freedom Caucus Chairman Alan Seabaugh.
