Most of us don’t think of our local public library as a battleground, but in recent years it certainly has become that. The library in many cities and schools has evolved into another venue for the woke crowd to feed their perverted agendas to our children. We want the library to be the place where we can comfortably take our children so they can get books to help them learn to read, write and do their science projects, but there are others that want to expose them to sexual subject matter, vulgar visuals, and illicit expressions of all types.

The material is in the children’s section of the public libraries at eye level and in the school libraries. A few months back, we had the good pleasure of interviewing our friend, Bonnie Wallace from Llano School District, on our Come to The Table podcast. Bonnie, a true warrior, has been leading the charge against this horrific nonsense for several years. She shared with us the atrocities she has seen and heard as she has fought at school board meetings, city council meetings, and in the courtroom.

Bonnie relayed a time when she was reading a book from the school library at the school board meeting and was told she couldn’t go on reading because the material was too vulgar and vile. She had them trapped at their own game, so she asked, “Then what is this book doing in the school library?”

It’s not hard to understand that young people are not mature enough to handle the effects of this material on their minds. Even the minds of hardened criminals in Texas are protected from this material. In fact, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice maintains a list of prohibited books that does not allow many of the books found in our schools and libraries to be in the prisons. Bonnie wrote a bill that says if a book is on this list, it cannot be on a bookshelf in a school in Texas.

In the battle, Bonnie recounts that 17 books were identified as inappropriate for children and were successfully relocated by library staff from the children’s section to the adult section. Sounds like a win, right? But Llano Public Library became the first library in America that was sued by seven library patrons for removing these inappropriate books from the children’s section.

Today, we are here to share the good news that Llano Independent School District libraries have removed their entire “18 and over” section! According to Texas Scorecard, it states in their article published on August 27, 2025, by Syndie Henry,

“Llano Independent School District has removed the book “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins, as well as the entire “18 and over” section from the Llano High School library, according to an affidavit from Superintendent Lindsay “Mac” Edwards. The action comes after ongoing challenges over explicit content in the district’s libraries, led most prominently by resident Bonnie Wallace.”¹

We want to congratulate our Friend, Bonnie Wallace, for her tenacity to see this battle through and to continue helping others fight the good fight against this foul play in our libraries and the assault against our children. In the article she states,

“I want to encourage others who are challenging books to keep fighting. Don’t hold, just keep going.”¹

^{Thanks for praying with us on this subject. This win is only the beginning of the battle.  Let’s keep going until we see this material removed from all schools in the region and state.}
