A new social media thread exposed the left’s agenda on how to get public libraries across the country to “Prepare for Pride Month.”
Blogger and former librarian Kelly Jensen authored the piece that reposted her “how-to guide to Pride displays in libraries,” noting how “Pride has traditionally been a month for joyful displays of queer books, with periodic and predictable complaints” for participating libraries.
If they aren’t trying to indoctrinate and gr[][]m school children, why are librarians broadcasting this:
“How to Prepare for Pride Month in Libraries 2025”

“Intimidation is a common thread, as is the intentional removal of queer books from shelves and displays,” Jensen wrote. “We will see a deepening of quiet/silent censorship of Pride this year in libraries, without question. Given the unrepentant attacks on libraries and DEI by the current administration and its sympathizers and aggressors, Pride is going to look remarkably different this year than even last year or the previous year.”
Dan Kleinman, founder of Safe Libraries, unpacked the indoctrination efforts in an eye-opening thread on X where he asked, “Should taxes be used to shill for @PFLAG? Why not @Moms4Liberty?”
DID YOU KNOW LIBRARIANS COLLECT INFORMATION TO TARGET/DOX PARENTS?

Back in 2023, Jensen detailed actions that library workers could take in response to Kirk Cameron’s “See You at the Library” events.
The author calls anyone who opposes taxpayer-supported public libraries promoting gender ideology “fascists” and “bigots.”

“She’s revealing indoctrination USING PUBLIC FUNDING to manipulate public, politicians, media to spread false information, all to promote indoctrination + s[]xualization of kids,” Kleinman wrote.
“[W]hat happens if, during Pride month, every queer book in the library is put behind the desk or popped into storage, and people cannot access them?”

Jensen suggests libraries “consider perusing the archives of Literary Activism/Book Censorship News and see what stories of anti-LGBTQ censorship have come up.”
“What states or communities have threatened to shut down their entire public library over a couple of books featuring two mommies or two daddies? What queer books are being specifically targeted and why?” she wrote. ” Use this information to create thoughtful social media posts all month long.”
She’s interested in promoting herself:
“There is a spreadsheet with each of the tasks listed, linked in the piece to make copy/pasting easier. I grant my permission for use as long as whatever you create credits me and my work here at Book Riot.”
Credit the gr[][]mer, everyone!

Kleinman’s disturbing thread set off X users:
I remember when libraries used to be about books, now they’re billboards for activism. Wild how fast “storytime” turned into “indoctrinate-your-kid hour.”

Fortunately, it’s very easy to avoid going to libraries
