Tennessee Town Bats Down Left-Wing Protests, Will Remove Books Promoting Transgenderism To Children

With President Donald Trump in the White House it appears local governments sense that they are empowered to stop the nonsense that is being used to indoctrinate kids.

On Monday a Tennessee library board voted to remove all books that promote transgenderism and gender confusion, The Daily Wire reported.

In a 5 -3 vote the Rutherford County Library voted to remove the books after a two hour meeting in which more than 100 people attended at the Historic Rutherford County Courthouse in Murfreesboro.

The resolution will “remove material that promotes, encourages, advocates for or normalizes transgenderism or ‘gender confusion’ in minors.”

“The library board is expending money to keep books on the shelf. By just keeping a book we are making a decision to expend funds, taxpayer dollars, to keep those books there,” Cody York, who introduced the measure, said. “Books that promote transgender ideology are harmful to children.”

“The state and federal government have determined that these are harmful practices,” he said, with a nod to President Trump’s executive order to not promote transgender procedures on kids. “The fact that some children in our community struggle with gender confusion means that we should be equipping them to successfully deal with the dangers of, and root cause of, that danger.”

Prior to the vote 10 members of the community were given three minutes each to speak.

“If we cause children to go down this road, they can make decisions they will regret for the rest of their lives. When we expose them to things that they don’t have a level to understand, it’s really sexualizing them,” one member of the community, a woman named Michelle, said. “Children, they don’t have a capacity for this. If we say we love them, if we say that ‘you are loved,’ ‘we loved you,’ we should want to tell that person the truth. Love is truth.”
