QUOTE: More than a dozen Republican lawmakers in the Idaho legislature are calling on the state’s library commission to cut ties with the American Library Association (ALA) over the latter’s Marxist programming and promotion of sexually explicit material.
On Monday, 13 members of the legislature’s Freedom Caucus released a statement urging the Idaho Commission for Libraries and all “local and school libraries” to terminate membership with the ALA.
“We have significant concerns about the election of Emily Drabinski, a self-described ‘Marxist-lesbian,’ as the next president of the ALA,” lawmakers said. “Her election raises issues about libraries’ involvement in exposing children to explicit materials and injecting hard-left politics and sexuality into publicly funded libraries.”
Drabinski, who was elected ALA president in April last year, celebrated her triumphant victory with a poston social media.
“I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of [the ALA],” she wrote on Twitter. “I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity!”
Idaho Freedom Caucus members outlined a series of complaints with Drabinski’s leadership that lawmakers say warrants a separation from state and local libraries.
