A final meeting was held in Glen Ridge on Wednesday as the library board decided whether to remove six books containing LGBTQ+ topics from the public library. TimMcNicholas reports.
-- Dozens of people packed into an auditorium in Glen Ridge on Wednesday for a final meeting on whether to remove six books containing LGBTQ+ topics from the public library.
The debate started after a group of eight residents called Citizens Defending Education submitted concerns about sexual material. At least some of the complaints called for the removal of the books. The books in question are:"Here and Queer,""It's Not The Stork,""It's Perfectly Normal,""This Book is Gay,""You Know, Sex," and"All Boys Aren't Blue."No one from Citizens Defending Education attended the meeting, but co-founder Fran Deacon agreed to an interview with CBS2.
"I do not think that's what it is. I believe it's about hatred. I think it's about discrimination for them," she said.
