The Gateway Pundit reported on drag star RuPaul Charles who relentlessly pushes the LGBTQ+ agenda and uses his Emmy Award acceptance speech to defend drag queen story hours.
Now, Charles, co-founder of new online bookstore Allstora, announced Monday a new rainbow school bus that will travel from the West Coast to “spread LGBTQ+ literature throughout the South!”
The Rainbow Book Bus will partner with local LGBTQ organizations to distribute diverse titles to communities “that have limited access to books or face book bans.”
The organization announced on Instagram: “We're just one week away from the start of our inaugural tour! We can't wait to visit all these amazing cities, celebrate gay magic with all these amazing organizations, and help spread LGBTQ+ literature throughout the South!”
“It started as a dream,” their website shares. We asked ourselves: “What if we took the exhilarating joy of a school book fair and added some whimsical wheels and magic?”
The New York Times reports:
As part of Allstora's launch, the Rainbow Book Bus will travel in March from Los Angeles to the South to fight book bans. In these cities, which will include Birmingham, Ala.; Tallahassee, Florida; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Allstora will partner with local LGBTQ organizations to distribute thousands of books. The goal is to distribute 10,000 books by the end of the year from the brightly colored, 22-foot-long former school bus.
However, the organization fails to acknowledge that the books are not banned, but some are even removed from public school libraries due to their graphic content.
“I want to be clear: No one is banning books,” Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Mothers for Freedom, recently told MSNBC. “I write the book, I print the book, I publish the book, I put the book in the public library, I sell the book, right? We're talking.” About a public school library.”
“Kids don't have unrestricted access to the Internet at school. I requested Freedom of Information Act records, and I wanted to know what types of websites are blocked in schools if we're going to talk about blocking, right? And the topic in the books that mothers are interested in is The same things that kids can't access online. So, it seems very hypocritical, right? Why is no one protesting the internet at school? She added.
The justice also argued that certain content, such as descriptions of sexual acts or violence, is inappropriate for public school libraries, and parents have a right to information and control over what their children are exposed to at school.
“Nobody bans books.
“Write the book, print the book, publish the book, put the book in the public library, sell the book.
