Ah, yes. The tolerant left. How interesting that after he was fired for his behavior, Morales stated that he "doesn't hate anybody." My question is, just who in the Hell asked him? I think he revealed the truth without even realizing it. Reading the article, it looks to me like this guy wasn't the only library employee who should have been canned. I applaud Cameron for his efforts. We need more of this kind of thing. Contrast Cameron's events, clearly intended for the actual benefit of children, with the disgusting "drag queen" garbage of the left, which uses children as political pawns. https://www.foxnews.com/media/...k-kirk-cameron-event A Tennessee library director has been fired after actor and writer Kirk Cameron accused him of "unkind pushback" during a Christian children's reading event. On Wednesday, The Sumner County Library Board voted to fire Hendersonville library director Allan Morales following accusations related to the treatment of Cameron and other celebrities associated with the February library event, according to The Tennessean. The county's mayor, John Isbell, said that Morales was fired by the board in a 4-3 vote and admitted it was "related to the Kirk Cameron" event. Isbell's office did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment when asked to provide further details on Morales' termination. The event, hosted by Cameron at Hendersonville Library, also included "Duck Dynasty" star Missy Robertson and acclaimed Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines. It was held in conjunction with Brave Books, a conservative publishing company. When asked about the event, Gaines said she recalled rising tensions when Cameron believed Morales was speaking too loudly during promotional filming sessions prior to the public portion of the reading. The Tennessean indicated that Gaines was upset with library staff during the filming because they were making noise she felt was "excessive and intentional." "It's not an accurate representation of Hendersonville, Gallatin or Sumner County," Gaines told the paper. "I hate that it resulted in termination. I don't know if it was politically driven. There were bomb threats (reported), a lot of things going on (leading up to the event). I don't know if it is an accurate representation of him." Outside the commotion from library staff, police say the library received 14 emails from a single account alluding to deaths and a plan to blow up the building. The man who made the threats, 49-year-old Mark Frakl of Connecticut, was arrested and will be extradited to Sumner County. Taking to Facebook, Cameron posted about the success of the event, writing, "Despite the rain and the unkind pushback (from one disgruntled librarian), an OVERFLOW crowd of families, mayors, county commissioners, and celebs welcomed and joined us at the library in Hendersonville, TN. for singing the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, praying and teaching faith in God and moral values to our kids." The Tennessean also obtained emails written by Morales leading up to the day of the event, in which he voiced concern about the size of the event and whether it should be moved to a nearby church. "Our invitation was sincere to read a book during our story time," Morales wrote in an email to a Brave Books representative on Feb. 22. "We guard that time because it is for small children and not adults. We work hard at not promoting any agendas, left or right." Following his termination, Morales said he is choosing to remain silent and does not want to add to the controversy. "I'm hoping now that they have fired me that the community can move on. There's not much of a point to giving my side. At end of the day, I don't hate anybody," he said. A spokesperson from Brave Books told Fox News Digital around the time of the event, "A head official at Hendersonville Public Library has been pushing back against the story-hour event all week." The spokesperson said, "A head official realized this event was going to be much more than a typical story hour. Noticing guests like Missy Robertson [of 'Duck Dynasty' fame] and [women's sports advocate] Riley Gaines" — both of whom had committed to joining Cameron at the event — "the official at the library reached out to us informing us that the story hour would not be happening on the 25th. The official said he did not want a movement coming to his library." The spokesperson claimed the library threatened to cancel the event and an official said there was too many people to accommodate. "As soon as the library's board of directors and the community heard this, they were against this decision and the library staff backed down," the spokesperson added. Zac Bell, Brave Books' chief of staff, told Fox News Digital, "We have done five different Freedom Island Story Hours [in various cities] — and we have yet to encounter a library staff quite like Hendersonville's staff. It was clear that they did not agree with Kirk's message at the library and wanted nothing to do with it." ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | ||

Kirk Cameron sure does put his money where his mouth is. One thing that stands out to me is that the vote was 4-3. Three people our of seven didn't think he should have been fired. One would think the facts of the matter would have been clear as to whether he should have been fired. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.

The pushback may not have been about Kirk Cameron. Riley Gaines is one of the most decorated female swimmers in NCAA history, and she has been very vocal critic of transgenders competing in women's sports (e.g. Lia Thomas swimming for UofPA).

Arkansas book event interrupted by drag queens in disturbing outfits as Kirk Cameron and guests speak There's nothing like frightening small children to get your political point across. I'd love to see a dozen or so weight lifters waiting outside of that event to beat the ever-loving shit out of these selfish freaks. | |||

Sick and twisted people are what they are. They are giving in to their own depravity but it will not end for them like they think. One day, they will have to face God and have to give account for what they did/didn't do. | |||

Oh, really? The library is public property, not somebody's fiefdom, which it sounds like Mr Morales was all too eager to enforce. Lets keep it simple Morales, your job is make sure books are in-order, check-in/out is smooth, the space is a free of predators, vagrants and vandals, and make sure its available to the community, particularly events that pertain to literature. | |||

^^^^^ And I would bet money that Librarian Morales would love to have a standing-room-only crowd watching a commie-queenie demonstrate dildo techniques in front of children.

Good for you, Mr. Cameron. Keep hammering away at these leftists. Alabama library caves after Brave Books and Kirk Cameron stand up to its attempt to deny Americans a venue A library in Alabama has reversed its decision from earlier this week to cancel a book reading event. It will now indeed welcome actor Kirk Cameron and his publisher, Brave Books, on Saturday, August 5, for the nationwide "See You at the Library" event. The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System in Huntsville, Alabama, had said in a release on Wednesday afternoon that it would no longer accommodate the book reading event due to concerns about logistics and security as popularity for the event grew this week. Almost immediately afterward, Cameron and Brave Books challenged that decision to cancel it. Now, after law firm First Liberty Institute sent a letter to the library system saying it was "prepared to vindicate this violation of our client’s civil rights in court," the library system has reversed course, Fox News Digital was told on Friday afternoon. The library has agreed after all to host Kirk Cameron, the Brave Books team and Riley Gaines, women's sports advocate, who will be accompanying them on Saturday as they stop by three different libraries for the event. | |||

Thumbs up. My initial response contained discouraging words directed at the library in the article. Turning that dial down a bit they entertained the letter. Props to Kirk and those w/ him. | |||

How large are these events? If it’s an old enough library they are usually designed to hold quite a few people but I could definitely see these kind of events getting to be too much. | |||
