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 generations 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.

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

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