Here we go: "MOMS FOR LIBRARIES" IS CONSERVATIVE PROPAGANDA

A new campaign launched through Moms For Liberty is about to create a host of confusion for those working to ensure intellectual freedom. The campaign, “Moms for Libraries,” seeks to infiltrate school libraries with “liberty-minded books.” It was launched by Catherine Rahimian, who founded the Orange County California chapter of Moms for Liberty.

“Moms for Libraries” will be working with Brave Books to launch the campaign.

Brave Books is an organization publishing books that “empower[s] this generation’s youth with conservative values” while “glorifying the Lord in all we do.” They call themselves, “a conservative alternative to the current progressive agenda that dominates our culture.” The books are written by a host of conservative pundits and influencers and the stories center around characters defending “Freedom Island.”

These jackwads are nucking futs. Just search the book section for "brave books" and you will find a plethora of RW kiddie indoctrination. Talk about grooming...

The first kids book I looked at was "Paws off My Cannon", and the description follows:

In Book 6 of Saga 1, BRAVE Books and Danna Loesch have joined forces to discuss the importance of the Second Amendment through the story Paws Off My Cannon. This story follows Bongo, a daring and hungry gorilla, who loves eating food, especially mushroom-shaped cupcakes. But one day, a villainous hyena shoots a coconut at Bongo and his friend Bonnie. Bonnie is so upset at this misuse of coconut cannons that she suggests the village ban all coconut cannons. Bongo thinks that the hyenas are the problem, not the coconut cannons.

Their debate splits Mushroom Village, and when the hyenas come back, their views are put to the test. Will Bongo and Bonnie finally see eye-to-eye or will one side prevail?

Then I found "The Island of Free Ice Cream", another book geared for the 4-12 market.
Brave Books and Jack Posobiec take a deep dive into the idea of Capitalism Vs Communism with the story of “The Island of Free Ice Cream”. Most should be wary when offered something for free but too often “free” is more enticing than Freedom.

The city of Rushington is home to many creatures and their favorite thing about their busy home is the Rushington Market. No one loves this city or its market more than a clever inventor named Asher.

Life in Rushington is great until a group of deceptive wolves come along and promise they will turn Rushington into the perfect city, overflowing with delicious Free Ice Cream, the same way they did to their home island. All the animals of Rushington buy into the wolves' deception without a thought, all, except for a fox named Asher. Will Asher prove the Wolves wrong and save Rushington or will Rushington crumble under its new rulers?

and other things that mock them.

Sort of like in the Quixote where the Inquisition favors the more blasphemous books because they are interesting.

9. It's not intellectual freedom if they're banning books and harassing teachers and school boards.
