Montgomery County librarians win showdown

“The Christian conservative Republican Leadership Council suffered a setback Monday when Montgomery County Commissioners Court voted to keep the county’s membership in the American Library Association and to leave county library book-selection policies unchanged.”

“The 3-2 showdown vote ended weeks of momentum for the divisive issue, which ostensibly centered on whether the ALA, the national organization for professional librarians, has too much influence on what books go onto county library shelves.”

“ALA opponents say the group is atheistic, communistic and supportive of homosexuality.” (from The Houston Chronicle)
