JOHN, if you think book bans have gone too far, listen to this.

In Randolph County, North Carolina, local officials dissolved the entire public library board because it refused to censor a children’s picture book about a transgender boy.

The library followed its rules. Staff reviewed the complaint. The board voted 5–2 to keep the book on the shelf. That should have been the end of it.

Instead, politicians stepped in and wiped the board out. This is what extremism looks like when it gains power. When it doesn’t just ban books — it punishes anyone who refuses to comply.

If they can dissolve a library board for one book, they can do it anywhere.

Chip in today to help us fight back against censorship, intimidation, and extremist takeovers of our public institutions.

Educated We Stand exists to stop this agenda where it actually hurts them: at the ballot box and in local elections they’re counting on us to ignore.

But we can’t do that without you.
