The bill had 22 primary sponsors, including Republican state Sen. Larry Walker, who told NPR he was upset to learn his local library worked with the ALA to increase literary representation for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
“I feel this is kind of being forced on our children and kind of shoved down our throat," Walker told NPR. “I’m a pretty tolerant individual, but this has gone too far.”
NPR must have misquoted Sen. Larry Walker given he was a primary sponsor of this absolute asinine piece of legislation.
I think what he really said was, "I’m a pretty intolerant individual and this has gone too far! "
These cowards are acting like the ALA are instructing librarians to slip LGBTQ+ or BIPOC books in kids backpacks while they are busy playing Minecraft on the Library computers.
