This is the best summary I could come up with:


Walker says he became determined to stop what he calls that "radical" organization from being "political indoctrination centers ... promoting aberrant sexual behavior and socialist anti-American rhetoric."

Taylor Hawkins, with the conservative Christian lobbying group Frontline Policy Action, which helped draft and promote the Georgia legislation, points to an article by Drabinski in the academic journal The Library Quarterly a decade ago called "Queering The Catalog."

The ALA is also the only organization that accredits university programs in library and information science that train future librarians, and the Georgia bill would make it illegal to spend public funds on that.

"We ensure that our barbers and our butchers are up to serving our communities well, but when it comes to the people that help us navigate the worlds of mis- and disinformation, we're putting barriers in place for them doing their job," Lankes says.

A national conservative activist group called MassResistance, helped drive those changes, and founder Brian Camenker says many more local libraries are interested in doing the same.

"Just yesterday we were talking with a county supervisor in Virginia, and we were giving her our model legislation, and you know, it's a surprisingly easy sell all around the country," Camenker says.


The original article contains 1,017 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I'd be happy to see them secede and be cut out of this country for good, who needs 'em. I've been to Georgia, I remember it was a fairly pretty place, but I'd never go back. Now that they've become as radicalized and fascist-ized as Texas, I'd never set foot there again. In fact I hope they fold and go away completely, it's now several grades below a third-world shithole of an open sewer.
