for publication in the detroit news
in
"group targets black author's book," is it reported judith krug,
director of the office for intellectual freedom of the american
library association in chicago, said, "toni morrison is challenged
regularly because she is a black author who writes about the real
world ... about black issues.... people find these issues
threatening," she said.
it is judith krug herself
playing the race card to mislead people about the truth. it is
judith krug's ala that hints the us supreme court is racist for
deciding against the ala in us v. ala, thereby continuing the
"digital divide," allegedly.
now she is implying
people in howell are racist. she is so effective in her
propaganda, that the title of this very article is totally
misleading. a truthful title would be "group targets sexually
inappropriate books in public school."
the truth is the race
of the author or the number of awards she has won is irrelevant to
the issue. the issue is the inappropriate material for
children contained within the book, and whether public schools
should make such material available to children. luminaries
such as naomi wolf, author of "the beauty myth," have sadly noted
the downward spiral of books for children.
here are some
quotes from one of toni morrison's excellent books, just not
excellent for children: "when she senses some spasm about to grip
him, she will make rapid movements with her hips, press her
fingernails into his back and pretend she is having an orgasm.
[m]ight wonder again ... what it would be like to have that feeling
while her husband's penis is inside her." "she sits reading
... [and the] cat will jump into her lap. she will fondle that soft
hill of hair and let the warmth of the animal's body seep over her
and into the private areas of her lap. [s]he opens her legs just a
little ... perhaps shifting a little together."
mrs. krug,
you are purposely misleading the public by claiming parents are
objecting to toni morrison's books because she is black. in
reality, the people are objecting to the sexually inappropriate
material for children, including the bestiality. worse, you
and the ala could care less about black authors except as you can
use them for your own purposes in promoting your own political
agendas. for example, you and the ala say nothing when the
castro regime confiscates and literally burns the books of martin
luther king, jr. mlk books burning in cuba?
silence. bestiality books removed from children in howell but
available everywhere else? howell community is attacked for
its racism.
howell citizens: the us supreme court said
in us v. ala, "the interest in protecting young library users from
material inappropriate for minors is legitimate, and even
compelling, as all members of the court appear to agree." the
court in board of education v. pico found that books containing
various ideas may not be kept from children in public schools, but
the parties stipulated that pervasively vulgar books may be removed
for lack of educational suitability at any time.
howell
citizens: to what do you look for guidance? to the us
supreme court and your own community standards where you do not give
taxpayer supported inappropriate material to children? to
judith krug of the ala who is implying you are racist for
questioning books by a black author and who said parents who tell
their children not to read playboy "don't really care about their
kids growing up and learning to think and explore"? did you
know it is ala policy to ensure librarians "assume a leadership
role" in ensuring children maintain access to "comprehensive,
sex-related materials"? judith krug is setting that example.
howell citizens: you are not racist and you are not
targeting books by a famous black author. you are properly
concerned for the welfare of your children who should not be reading
about bestiality and other inappropriate sexual material in public
schools. you have the full support of your fellow citizens,
the law, and the us supreme court. the ala's attempt to
mislead you into voluntarily exposing your children to inappropriate
sexual material should be seen for what it is and discounted.
the ala, a once great organization, has taken a radical turn that is
endangering children in public schools and public libraries
nationwide.nbsp; do not let the ala intimidate you into sexualizing
your own children. do not let your children be the next
victims like those the ala has already strewn about the nation's
landscape.
