Its disingenuous to pretend that Libs of Tik Tok doesn't have an agenda with what they repost or that they don't know the consequences of it. I have no idea what the context of the original post was, but I know the context of the repost. I would venture to say that the majority of parents in the school district are fine with their child having Jacob's New Dress in the library, but that isn't going stop people who had never heard of Howard County before seeing the repost, from weighing in with hateful messages. It is clear that they nothing about Howard County or what the majority of parents value.

I'm a public librarian so I am aware of what the books in question are, as well as the scrutiny and review that the books have gone through by education professionals. I may or may not be okay to have my child reading certain things, but I don't have the right to make that decision for other parents.
