School Library Journal @sljournal gave 2021 School Librarian of the Year award to Amanda Jones @abmack33.

Now we know why.

She self-nominated herself for three years and finally got a single parent to nominate her.

One parent. National award.🥇

#lalege #aasl25
Remember, librarians complain 1 parent shouldn’t be allowed to censor books for a whole school. They complain about @Brucepatriot3 successfully challenging thousands of books, getting hundreds removed.

But it’s okay one parent gave Amanda Jones the platform to launch 3 lawsuits. Image
She is suing me for defamation and probably thinks I cannot keep reporting on her using her own words.

But remember, @ALALibrary set up the fake policy school librarians follow that books 📚 may not be removed from shelves during the book reconsideration process.

Same deal.
By the way, besides suing me twice (once in two separate courts makes twice), she’s also suing @michaellunsford @ThamesRyan and @JamieMariePope.

That @sljournal gave her the perfect platform to sue.

And Sarah Jessica Parker just made her the central character in a new film! 🎥

“NONBINARY” WOMAN MARXIST BECOMES PRESIDENT-ELECT OF AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

As I predicted!

#Parenting #moms #dads: prepare for deluge of #trans ideology to be foisted on school kids by #librarians of @ALALibrary more than ever.

“I was president of the Iowa Library Association at that time, ILA’s first nonbinary, aromantic, asexual president. And there was a wonderful book called Gender Queer that was quite a bit about people like me. And it was the most banned book in the state. At the same time, I was thinking about how we in Iowa are the founders of the Library Bill of Rights. Forrest Spaulding, then director of the Des Moines Public Library, wrote it in 1938.”

Another reason to #DefundALA:

“Through inclusion, equity, diversity, and resolve, we must continue to navigate historic transitions as an Association.”

This is why I started @WLibraryA, so World Library Association can provide an alternative.

BREAKING: New York Library Association announces support for @ALALibrary President Emily Drabinski @edrabinski BECAUSE she’s gay:



Never mind Emily has threatened USA communities after #DefundALA efforts by @MTStateLibrary, etc.

FYI, here my reporting on where Emily made her threats:

Emily Drabinski Threatens State Library Commissions After Montana Drops ALA Membership: 'There Are More of Us Than There Are of Them'

Also FYI, notice the underlying document from NYLA is duplicitous.

"NYLA Position Statement on the Defense of Intellectual Freedom"



Says access will not be restricted, even in schools, then says, "Library materials are carefully selected."

False. nyla.org/nyla-position-…

1/ School superintendent flat out lies to parents to keep CSAM grooming books in Texas schools @McKinneyISD. He blames, "political agendas, sensationalism, and exaggeration." He is a #groomer.

"McKinney ISD in no way supports obscene or pornographic materials of any kind in our public-school libraries."

False. He doesn't tell you his definition of those terms means only those already adjudged as much by a judge and only on a case by case basis.
"On rare occasion, it is possible that a book ... could slip through the cracks...."

False. He doesn't tell you his books come from lists recommended by others that are known to make inappropriate materials available and other superintendents aren't so fooled.
