“This is p*rn in our libraries. It’s disgusting,” Mace said in one email. It accused the library of “defying state law and using taxpayer dollars to expose children to pornographic material.
“This needs to end now,” she wrote.
In addition to the graphic novel, Mace called out the library for “Grandad's Pride,” an illustrated children’s book about a child who finds an LGBTQ pride flag in grandpa’s attic, and the two start a pride parade in their town.
By Monday, the “Sex Criminals” series had been gone from all shelves countywide for six days. And the children’s book had already been moved to the adult fiction section, according to library officials.
I doubt anyone reasonable is going to question the removal of the sex criminals graphic novel series, but putting an illustrated children's book in the adult section? Seriously?
