Public library board voted to keep pro-transgender book — so the county dissolved the entire board
A North Carolina county government has chosen to disband its public library board after the group refused to take down a book that advocated for the transgender agenda.
The controversy involved the “Call Me Max” book that tells the story of a girl asking teachers to refer to her by her chosen identity rather than the biological reality.
‘Planting this lie in a child’s mind at a young age can lead them down a harmful path of social and medical transitioning. Public libraries should never expose children to books that cause them to question their gender or include other inappropriate sexual content.’
The board in Randolph County had reviewed the book and found that it fit within the county’s guidelines in October. Dozens of people attended that hearing to voice their opinion about the book.
The nine-member library board was then disbanded by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners by a vote of 3-2.
The North Carolina Values Coalition had previously described the picture book as an attempt to “groom children towards transgenderism at very young ages” and actively opposed its inclusion.
The group applauded the decision to dissolve the board.
“‘Call Me Max,’ recommended for 5- [to] 9-year-olds, teaches children that their parents may be wrong about their gender and that their gender is actually whatever they feel it is,” read the statement from their spokesperson to Blaze News.
“Planting this lie in a child’s mind at a young age can lead them down a harmful path of social and medical transitioning,” the statement continued. “Public libraries should never expose children to books that cause them to question their gender or include other inappropriate sexual content.”
The author of the book, a transgender-identifying individual named Kyle Lukoff, said that the actions of the county board were alarming.

“Policies can be helpful, but this is ultimately a question of power,” Lukoff said. “If there are people in power who believe trans people don’t belong in their communities or the world at large, they will twist those policies to make it a reality.”
While disbanding a public library board is unusual, it is within the power of the county organization.
Voters of Randolph County supported President Donald Trump by an overwhelming margin — nearly four to one.
The commissioners have not indicated when they will reconstitute the library board.

Liberal protesters dump ice into harbor on anniversary of Boston Tea Party to protest deportations
While many were celebrating the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, liberal demonstrators tried to usurp the moment to protest the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
Rather than dump tea into the harbor, the protesters from Boston Indivisible tossed ice into the harbor, symbolizing their opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
‘This is a symbolic measure saying we want ICE to leave our communities alone.’
The group claimed that about 1,000 people joined their protest on Tuesday evening. They tried to equate the colonists’ struggle against government oppression with the plight of illegal aliens who ignore immigration law.
“This is not left or right. This is not progressive or conservative. It’s being American,” said Martha Laposata of the group.
Group members said that they used environmentally safe ice that was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
“Anybody who understands the nature of our country should be doing something. This is not the time to sit home and watch TV,” said Mary Sweeney.
Video from the event showed protesters chanting, “No Kings! No Tariffs! No ICE!” as they tossed the ice into the harbor.

“This is a symbolic measure saying we want ICE to leave our communities alone,” said Alex Rikleen, a candidate for the U.S. Senate who lists his pronouns in his profile.
The protesters said they hoped the demonstration would encourage others to speak out against the mass deportation policies implemented by President Donald Trump.
