Kids who are “different” or speak out can be/often are ostracized. Example: voluntary group prayer isn’t voluntary if kids who choose not to participate are made fun of. The younger the kids, the less they understand impact of their actions. Micah Beckwith is a Hamilton 1/5

County preacher spirited onto Ham East Public Library Board (HEPLB) by Ham Co Council w/o public notice or listing on agenda & w/little notice before a vote. 15 other candidates werent considered. This is “democracy” a la GOP of the 21st century. Beckwith & 3 confreres 2/5

have a 4-3 lock on HEPLB. Rebecca Rudolph wrote in support of petition 2 remove Beckwith (change.org) HEPLB was advised by longtime library atty their decision to move a lot of books to an adult section “is considered censorship” & could make the library vulnerable to 3/5

lawsuit. The board got a 2nd law firm 4 2nd legal opinion & that “firm drafted language for the new collection development policy” & library pd $20K. The “longtime attorney” quit & HEPLB hired a 3rd law firm. OK: Kids who might want to read Fahrenheit 451 (popular 4/5

2 ironically censor) have 2 ask 4 access, like Hermione Granger in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library. I forgot, Harry Potter is a no-no. Beckwith seems fixated on ejaculation & the taste of semen. I suggest he move on from Genesis 38 (+ I’ll bet he’s a Slytherin) 5/5
