However, many of the same taxpayer-funded libraries offer programs promoting \u201cgender fluidity, inclusion and diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Fox News, \u201cothers offer \u2018name change\u2019 clinics for older teens and adults who want to alter their official paperwork for gender-identity reasons.\u201d Heaven forbid these same libraries host a seminar teaching kids they\u2019re fine just the way they are. <\/p>\n<p>Cameron\u2019s publisher, Brave Books, gave the network a series of responses from different institutions rejecting the author from coast to coast. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a very queer-friendly library. Our messaging does not align,\u201d said the Rochambeau Public Library in Providence, Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>A staffer with City Heights\/Weingart Branch Library in San Diego, California, responded to the publisher\u2019s pitch to host Cameron by plainly saying, \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s something that we would do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of how diverse our community is, I don\u2019t know how many people you would get,\u201d the employee added. <\/p>\n<p>San Diego may be in the belly of the beast in liberal California, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t Christians there, let alone conservatives, who might have wanted to bring their children to Cameron\u2019s story hour. Instead of opening up the library\u2019s doors to give their neighbors the opportunity to attend, the staffer blocked the program altogether. By doing so, the employee imposed their own views on the rest of the community, but ironically this pro-drag queen stance is at odds with the views held by a majority of Americans. An October <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/lifestyle\/general_lifestyle\/november_2022\/most_parents_oppose_drag_queen_story_hour?utm_campaign=RR11152022DN&#038;utm_source=criticalimpact&#038;utm_medium=email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey<\/a> from Rasmussen found 60 percent of American adults believe \u201cDrag Queen Story Hour\u201d to be inappropriate for children, programming the City Heights\/Weingart Branch Library <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiego.gov\/public-library\/lgbt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proudly sponsors.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cameron wanted to teach children about \u201clove, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, [and] self-control\u201d through a biblical worldview. Public libraries want to teach kids how to cross dress complemented by offering them a plate of confusing gender identities. <\/p>\n<p>The author\u2019s banishment follows the same playbook woke activists have peddled for years on college campuses now permeating institutions from Wall Street to Main Street. Instead of allowing a platform for individuals with opposing views to engage with the community, faithful followers of the new secular church of identity politics self-righteously shut dissenters down while sporting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Peacemonger-0052PM-BS-COX-V2-Coexist-Bumper-Sticker\/dp\/B002MAJ5GG\/ref=asc_df_B002MAJ5GG\/?tag=hyprod-20&#038;linkCode=df0&#038;hvadid=312061937753&#038;hvpos=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=13476642807158499543&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=&#038;hvdev=c&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=9028806&#038;hvtargid=pla-578286027289&#038;psc=1&#038;tag=&#038;ref=&#038;adgrpid=63195598278&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvadid=312061937753&#038;hvpos=&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=13476642807158499543&#038;hvqmt=&#038;hvdev=c&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=9028806&#038;hvtargid=pla-578286027289\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bumper stickers<\/a> that read \u201ccoexist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the conservative comedian Ryan Long published a 3-minute video poking fun at \u201cThe Church of Woke.\u201d Playing the liberal priest and founder of the church, he mocked all the ways modern activists impose their left-wing values system as an organized faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018Church of Woke\u2019 is just like any other church except<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirk Cameron was never going to be allowed to hold a Christian-based story hour in the Cathedral of Woke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":1766849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1766846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1766846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1766849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1766846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1766846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1766846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
