Hello,
I am attempting to fend off an assault on the local library by anti LGBTQ people who claim these books are harmful to children. Some go so far as to say the books are pornographic and some religious claim the books are ruining society, anti American, anti Christ and the haters of the left claim these books are the left's attempt to groom kids.
I want to provide evidence that these books are not harmful. Does anyone have links to any references that would be helpful?
Thanks

The ACLU no doubt has reams of stuff on this.

I’ve read that the American Library Association protects books of all kinds. They surely have a website.

Tell them there is a book in the library that contains incest, homosexuality, witchcraft, murder, conspiracy and nudity.
Then give them a copy of the Holly Babble

I don't think there is any way to prove books are not harmful. It is not like trying to prove some substance is not harmful by consuming it and showing no ill effects. The books most likely will produce effects that the attackers think are harmful--thinking, empathy, knowledge...

I suspect they just hate the book because something in the book pisses them off or offends them. They have to find something legitimate to justify their hate. These so called Christians use fake moral claims, yet show hate towards people who are not white or like them.

What are the books?

We're having similar problems in Greenville, SC. I'm not as politically active currently but I think it's terrible how the right is trying to deny our existence.

Check with the Freedom from Religion website. I get a monthly newsletter from them as I support them, and there is a section in it that prints out articles about churches and church leaders who are arrested and convicted of sexually abusing children. More children are abused by so called christians and their churches than even I was aware of. Good luck.

Just look at the damage inflicted by the Buy Bull on children. Such mental defectives are a curse upon humanity.

What books are they protesting? Hopefully not Maplethorpe photography books.

Every book with a reference to gays or trans.
