Only had to read the title to know what book the they/them was complaining about. Naturally one genderspecial makes a fuss and it's news. And the local queer organization is using this incident as an excuse to sell their "inclusivity" training.

I've read the book, I never found anything hateful. Abigail Shriver bent over backwards to be compassionate and even-toned. The queer group wants libraries to only promote material in line with their 'values'. I would think the free expression of ideas and a rejection of censorship is a core value.

and with this and Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl it's more clear to the normies that they're not upset at book banning, they just want someone with a BA and a dyed swept undercut in charge of it, rather than the loudest parents at the school board meeting with nothing else to do--like there's two contending dystopian visions instead of just one
