AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION/TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (ALA/TLA) REMOVAL SCRIPT - TEXAS
The American Library Association (ALA)’s elected a new President with the stated goal of “queering” the library field. CDF has created this resource to equip, educate, and empower citizens in calling for the termination of and divestment from any membership or affiliation with the ALA through its Texas chapter - Texas Library Association (TLA).
This resource also strives to raise awareness towards how submitting to the ALA’s authority is the equivalent of endorsing the use of taxpayer dollars to support an institution that, in openly embracing cultural Marxism, critical race theory, and gender ideology, has created barriers for people of faith and other concerned citizens who find the ALA’s progressive agenda to be inconsistent with America’s biblical founding and Judeo-Christian ideals.
