I thought we were beyond this anti-American, anti-Christian madness, particularly here at home, but I was wrong.

One of the messages being used is a slanderous assault on library staff, which accused them of trying to peddle LGBTQ "propaganda" during June in celebration of "Gay Pride Month, with rainbow flag displays featuring books and slogans promoting homosexuality and gender dysphoria. Their language was uncivil, inflammatory, unchristian, and scientifically wrong. In a move outside of the standard practice for the BOCC, this became an agenda item at a recent meeting. Luckily, common sense and three brave Commissioners voted to continue to allow the library to educate its patrons.

They also took a shot at our award-winning Superintendent of Schools. This group doesnt mind degrading anyones reputation if they dont espouse their worldview. We have a good school system.
