well, it s a book that teaches biblical wisdom through the seasons of life to children and the value of growing fruit of the spirit like love, joy, kindness, patience, gentleness, self-control, for all. and i wanted to do a book reading at a public library, and i was denied by over 50 woke libraries that have hosted drag queen stories hours. one of the most outrageous denial was alameda county public library that said they didn t want that book teaching kids biblical values while at the same time they re hosting a gender name change clinic tomorrow. and i m thinking, wow, if we re so committed to diversity, why am i being excluded? why can t i use your facility to read my book? you re a library. well, yeah. so we began the show with a story about how the president of ukraine has banned a christian religion in ukraine. and then we get to your story
the same time they are hosting a gender name change clinic tomorrow. there is the obvious disparate approach which because their public libraries, it s a pretty glaring breach of the constitution, but what killed me was that 50 plus libraries he and his team reached out to and every single one denied him, rhode island to california and the comments they literally went on the record saying things like in providence rhode island, no will pass on you having run a program in our space. sandy heights in san diego i don t think that something we would do because of how diverse our community is great i don t know how many people you would get. we re really sorry, but we re not interested and indianapolis, says a bunch of stuff and says we have a strategic plan in place were looking at authors who are diverse authors of color, that s really been our focus so look, his book is diverse that s the whole point it s having the diversity of thought and faith.
