After a male swimming champion blasted trans athlete Lia Thomas, a Tennessee library director was suspended after he and woke staff disrupted a conservative gathering hosted by author Kirk Cameron. After the tumultuous February 25 event at Sumner County Library, Allan Morales was ousted following a 4-3 board vote to dismiss him early this week. Staff were allegedly playing loud music, yell, and slam books while Cameron and NCAA swim champion Riley Gaines filmed clips promoting their careers. Morales and his staff were accused of being "unkind" toward Cameron and his company. According to the Tennessean, the Sumner County Library Board has now voted 4 -3 to fire library director Allan Morales for failing to supervise his employees at the tense gathering. He was sluggish at failing to supervise his employees and for having a disorganized attitude toward a request that his library had agreed to honor. As You Grow is Cameron, a former child actor, had been set to read his book As You Grow at the Hendersonville Library. It encourages families to focus on Bible studies rather than critical race theory and transgenderism.

After being refused by others due to the story's message, actor and writer Kirk Cameron is now allowed to read his latest Christian children's book at two community libraries. Cameron, the creator of the hit comedy Growing Pains in the 1990s, told Fox News Digital that 'they caved' after he threatened to 'assert' his 'rights in court.' Cameron's two public libraries in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Scarsdale, New York, both of which have published 'drag queen story hours,' have now scheduled him for the end of the month. It comes as libraries have been chastised for promoting drag queens and other LGBTQ+ centric story hours for young children.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Big Apple's main branch, where kids aged 3 to 9 had been invited to attend a 'Drag Story Hour' function presided over by library officials and local drag queens. The event, as other similar processions have sprouted around the country, attracted unwanted attention - in this case, from members of a local conservative group, who assembled as the children were led away safely in another room. Chase Catapano, 28, is seen on camera beating the demonstrators, yeling insults, and defamatory gestures at parents, who are thrown into discarded signs bearing words such as "Let Our children alone," 'Shut it down,' and 'Respect childhood.' Eventually, the confrontation becomes physical as Catapano, a man with a history of civil disobedience, rips a sign from one protester's hands and hands on the plain-clothes cop. A woman a few feet away can be seen ushering a young child out of the mayhem, which culminated in Catapano's detention and imprisonment with disorderly conduct, bullying, assault, and obstruction of the governmental branch.

Kirk Cameron banned from hosting readings of Christian children's book at 50 public libraries

Kirk Cameron has been refused the opportunity to read his latest Christian children's book at community libraries because the publicly funded organizations have either disapproved the traditional text of the tale or refused to respond to calls. It is common for community libraries to host story-hour services for children and parents that coincide with the publication of a new book. Libraries have come under fire for promoting drag queens and other LGBTQ+ centric story hours for young children in recent years. It now seems that those same libraries, which are largely funded by taxpayers, have found that there is no space in their programming lineups for more traditional and faith-based titles.
