A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.
Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”
But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”
That’s theft. There’s nothing CIVIL about trying to erase the presence of a particular group of people from society …
No theft is cool. This is religious censorship and the precursor to an extermination campaign. They’ll kill us if we dont stop them.
How is theft from public institutions, which keep getting funding cuts, considered cool?
Replied to wrong comment?
Nope.
It’s a direct response to what you said. Not sure why you would think otherwise.
