Drag Queen Story Hour held at New Castle Public Library...

But said NO to Liberty Story Hour!!!!

Nov 20, 2022

The taxpayer-funded library in New Castle, Delaware, has for some time been promoting events and causes that you likely object to — such as hosting "Moms Demand Action," a gun control group, and featuring readings of banned children's books, such as And Tango Makes Three, a tale featuring two male penguins deciding to start a family.

Then there was the time that the library hosted an event called "Drag Queen Story Hour with the wonderful and glamorous… Ms. Troy!!!!"

(Yes, they used four exclamation points.)

This is the advertisement promoted by the New Castle County public library

This reminds me of this recent Babylon Bee headline: Interest in Drag Queen Story Hours Wanes After They're Renamed More Accurate 'Man Wearing Lingerie Wants to Spend Time With Your Kids Hour'1

A few folks at the Libertarian Party of Delaware decided to test how "diverse" these librarians were, and pitched a "Liberty Story Hour" where they would read on of our Tuttle Twins books.

Can you guess what the response was?

After reviewing the "Liberty Story Hour" proposal, the librarian sent this email reply:

Some time ago, LPD learned that our local public library holds drag queen story hour. We figured since they apparently support diverse viewpoints, we would propose a Liberty Story Hour to them, they said "We just dont think this would be a good fit" @NCPLDE @NCCDE

"I spoke to my manager about the program and we are going to pass. While we appreciate the literacy aspect of this, we just don't think this would be a good fit for our public library."

@DoniTheDon_ @NCPLDE @NCCDE Seems like it was attended. The librarian who put the event on responded to us describing it as “wonderful”

“As the librarian who planned and hosted this wonderful program, I can assure that it had no political agenda so I don’t really see your point in comparing the tow programs.”

The librarian who had described her drag queen event as "wonderful" thought that teaching things like free markets and property rights wouldn't be "a good fit" for her taxpayer-funded organization.

What a world.

It's a world I want to change, because I'm frequently disgusted with what's going on. And I'm not one to sit on my laurels and just complain. So get involved, have those important conversations, and share this newsletter.

Thank you Libertarian Party of Delaware for standing up for our children and values.

Thank you for reading Schooling Delaware Newsletter. This post is public so feel free to share it.

So, just who is ‘Ms. Troy’……with the four exclamation points?

Here is his facebook page:

and here is content from that facebook page:

Is THIS who you would want reading to children?

Maybe I could find the humor at a private **ADULT** Halloween party, but this was posted on his *publicly available website!* (but I assume many of these parents were well aware)

….and God forbid I call these transvestite queens trying to pervert the minds of children “groomers” well, you decide for yourself….

Of all the Halloween themes, why the obsession with a PG rated children’s movie?
