Marco Antonio Rubio, Letter from Marco Rubio to the Institute of Museum and Library Services on Religious Discrimination (2023)
“ The ALA claims that Brave Books seeks to “censor LGBTQIA materials or disparage or silence LGBTQIA library users, [and] exploit the open nature of the library to advance their agenda.” To the contrary, the ALA is advancing a political agenda, not Brave Books. Further, the ALA is doing so while receiving federal funds and actively promoting hotly contested events in public libraries, including “Drag Queen Story Hours”—events aimed at having scantily and/or exotically clothed adults read to children with the goal of introducing them to sexualized topics. ”
