And you know, Churchill has actually been very responsive to community concerns. She's assured people that Gender Queer will not shelved in youth stacks, and she offered to create a list for parents to to opt out books their children are not allowed to check out.

Personally, I think that's overkill, but she's clearly addressed whatever concerns the conservative people of Lapeer County have, and this prosecutor is still amping up rhetoric against her.

Gender Queer is book the public have a right to read. It's actually a fairly popular book, ironically far more popular than it was about a year ago when conservatives put it in their cultural crosshairs. Hell, I only bought it because of all the controversy!

Churchhill and other Lapeer County librarians deserve a lot of credit for ensuring their neighbors have access to books without political censorship.
