A conservative-run library board in Wyoming that last year kicked out the leftist, pro-LGBT American Library Association has created a new collections policy to protect kids from sexually explicit books promoting sex-and-gender deviance.
The Campbell County Library Board, with the help of the Christian legal organization Liberty Counsel, has enacted a new "Collections Development Policy," according to MassResistance, a national pro-family group whose Wyoming affiliate helped mobilize citizens outraged by shocking and inappropriate "children's books" found in the library system.
After two years of activism, we got it done.
We faced so much #resistance, but we were the @MassResistance to make the @CampbellCoGov #Libraries do the right thing for #Kids, #Parents, and #Community.
Before #Montana did anything, we got this local library to move! https://t.co/JRKRjkTSMn

Liberty Counsel, a leading Christian legal defense group headed by Mat Staver, reportedly help set up the parent- and child-friendly policy, which it hopes will become a model for wholesome library reforms across the nation.
MassResistance heralded the new policy as "extremely robust" and said it "will withstand any legal challenge from the left." MR lists the following as some of the strongest features in the revised and reformed Campbell collections policy protecting children from pornographic content and radical social agendas:
- It includes a “Policy for Protecting Children from Harmful, Sexually Explicit Material” that is detailed and unambiguous;
- It specifically describes how libraries legally “have wide discretion to exclude pornography and other sexually explicit material of prurient value from their collections.”
- It stipulates that as part of the “Weeding/Retention” process, books which conflict with the Policy for Protection of Children shall be immediately removed.
- It states that protecting minors from such materials does NOT include simply sequestering the materials in a special “safe” area.
- It sharply revises the procedures for “Reconsideration of Library Materials” to make them parent-friendly. Almost everywhere, these procedures were ALA-inspired and designed to make it difficult or even impossible for parents to succeed.
- It revises the collection guidelines for Social Sciences and Applied Sciences to remove topics relating to young adult sexual activity. This is another path leftists use to bring in pornography.
- It removes references to the American Library Association which were in the earlier document.
Brian Camenker, the founder and national president of MassResistance, said, "This is a great victory that can be replicated across the country! A big 'thank you' to Liberty Counsel for stepping in!"

MassResistance described the uphill battle to change the school board and its promotion of inappropriate materials aimed at kids.
A total of 52 book challenges were made by the end of last October and the complaining parents eventually wore down the library board chairman: "As a result of the unrelenting outrage from parents, the library board chairman resigned. Also, a county commissioner resigned. Plus, a city administrator who got caught up in the book argument resigned," reports MR.

Camenker said the triumph "shouldn't have to be this difficult. A previous library board hired these toxic people to work in the library who support pornography for children. They need to be fired and replaced by normal people."
He said "we’re all up against perverted groups like the ALA, ACLU, and book publishing companies. At least in Campbell County, they now have some great protection!"

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America's ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came "January 6," a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated "an armed insurrection" (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State's never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump's persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president."
