A county library board in Tennessee voted to remove pro-trans books from its shelves. Praise God!

From The Daily Wire. A Tennessee library board voted Monday evening to remove all books promoting transgenderism to children from its system, facing down protesters who called them ā€œNazisā€ for taking the stand.

The Rutherford County Library board voted 5-3 in favor of a resolution to take books encouraging children to adopt radical gender ideology off their shelves. The vote came after a tense 2-hour meeting attended by over 100 community members who showed up at the Historic Rutherford County Courthouse in Murfreesboro, about 34 miles from Nashville, to hear debate on the resolution.

The resolution directed the library to ā€œremove material that promotes, encourages, advocates for or normalizes transgenderism or ā€˜gender confusionā€™ in minors.ā€

After the vote was taken, a group of supporters of the resolution, who showed up wearing white shirts, erupted with cheers and clapping. Opponents, who heckled the board throughout the meeting, shouted things like ā€œNazis!ā€ at the library board. …

Cody York, who introduced the measure, said that he did so because the board had an obligation to protect children.

ā€œThe library board is expending money to keep books on the shelf. By just keeping a book we are making a decision to expend funds, taxpayer dollars, to keep those books there,ā€ York said. …

York referenced detransitioners across the country who have sued their doctors for performing transgender medical procedures on them.

ā€œThe state and federal government have determined that these are harmful practices,ā€ York said, pointing to President Donald Trumpā€™s executive order that the federal government would not promote transgender procedures on kids. …

Under the new policy, staff at libraries across the county would have to flag books promoting transgender ideology to kids and turn them over to the board for evaluation.

Praise God! We pray that every book promoting trans ideology would have to be flagged (at the very least) across the entire country so that parents know what their kids are reading.
