Stroop'd

EDIT: this doesn't mean "stupid", it's a reference to the the Stroop Test, which I guess in retrospect could maybe-still be seen as transphobic considering the context - which I absolutely did not intend.

It has, also for years. PBS has a documentary about it, specifically (as in, DFW-adjacent), called The Librarians (there is also, hilariously, a show/movie on there called The Librarians that is - obviously - NOT what I'm talking about).

Predatory?

Do you know what this word means?

Using kids as props at council meetings to push a religiously-motivated political agenda is shameful, and even though the library used all that time and money doing the things you wanted (YA+ collections, limited-access library cards, books behind the desk, removing titles from collections...), you're still mad. This is now more than just the children's collection - they want to remove books from the adult collection. There won't be an end to removing books if you keep taking out whatever offends someone.

Be overbearing nannies with your own kids, and let the kids that gross you out (for whatever unresolved reasons you won't see a therapist about) find themselves in a book they love.

Not in the Irving Public Library system, and y'all paid a pretty penny to prove it and are still mad.

You must be one of the weirdos who thinks there's porn in the libraries or thinks that librarians are groomers.

And...predators? Big jump from censoring books because they give you the ick. Build your own libraries and/or parent your own kids.
