Undermining Parental Freedom

They claim to stand for parental rights, but in practice they push to take choices away from all parents.

True parental freedom means I choose what my child reads, and you choose what yours reads, not one group making that decision for everyone.

Limiting Access to Information

Efforts to ban books shrink access to knowledge and erase important voices, especially for kids and teens.

Libraries are strongest when they offer a wide range of perspectives, so families can decide what’s right for themselves.

Injecting Partisan Politics into Libraries

These groups bring national political agendas into local communities, creating division where there should be unity.

Libraries should be neutral spaces dedicated to learning, not battlegrounds for partisan culture wars.

Harming Vulnerable Populations

Book bans often target LGBTQ+ authors, authors of color, and marginalized voices.

Silencing these stories sends a message that some neighbors don’t belong, which directly harms community trust and safety.

Eroding Local Control

Outside groups pressure local boards with one-sided talking points that don’t reflect the full community.

Our libraries should reflect the values of Garfield County residents, not the agenda of a national organization.

Groups like Moms for Liberty don’t protect freedom, they take it away. Our libraries should empower families, not let outside groups decide what our kids can or cannot read.
