How one activist can make a difference!

A library employee addresses the Library Board while standing next to our MassResistance activist's blow-up of a page from "Gender Queer."

This is another story of what one fearless and principled activist can do!

Kathy is a MassResistance activist in Topeka, Kansas. She’s also an attorney who has done First Amendment work. She was an English major in college and reads widely. And she’s interested in where her tax money goes.

Clearly, the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library has been using taxpayer funds to push radicalism and obscenity. The library’s close tie to the far-left American Library Association (ALA) helps support that extremism. (The library CEO, who attends Library Board meetings, “is recognized as a leader, spokesperson and presenter within the American Library Association” according to her bio.)

But Kathy has had enough of that radicalism and is confronting it – and forcing changes!

Last year: The library’s “Racial Justice Book Club”

As we reported a year ago, last June Kathy single-handedly forced the library to dismantle its ALA-inspired “Racial Justice Book Club.” Kathy joined the book club, and she soon discovered it was really a front for promoting radical anti-American propaganda and blatant racism. So she took matters into her own hands! She forced the organizers to face their lies and inconsistencies – and the club stopped meeting.

This year: The obscene books need to go!

Many Topeka citizens are upset with the library’s collection of obscene and pornographic LGBT books for children and teenagers. But Kathy has been willing to publicly and persistently confront that problem.

The ten members of the Board are not elected by the people. They are all appointed – seven by the city and three by the county. As a result, they have been arrogant and unresponsive to the public. They don’t post videos of their meetings (or even their public Zoom meetings).

The ten-member Topeka and Shawnee County Library Board.

But that hasn’t stopped Kathy!

The Library Board meets once a month. Kathy has been attending between seven to nine meetings a year, and consistently speaks up about the bad books and what’s in them. Her involvement clearly bothered the Board, but they’ve tried their best to ignore her.

At one point Kathy met briefly with one of the board members who said that she was upset that Kathy had held up some pictures from a book. “There were kids there who shouldn’t have seen that,” she told Kathy. She didn’t explain why the books are in the library for kids to check out.

On May 21, 2026, Kathy attended the monthly library board meeting with a blow-up poster of one of the more disgusting pages from one of the library’s offerings, Gender Queer. When the was called on to speak, she brought it up to the front and placed it near the podium.

This is a page from the book that Kathy decided the Library Board and their friends needed to see as clearly as possible!

The board chairman asked Kathy to turn the poster toward the wall, then got upset that she refused to do so. After Kathy was done speaking, she left the poster near the podium and stayed nearby to keep it there. The chairman backed down, and the poster remained there through the rest of the meeting.

This certainly got their attention. It appeared that all Board members were perturbed at the big poster displaying their library’s choice of a perverted LGBT book.

That book is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s on the shelves, as Kathy has been telling them – and which they should already know.

And now a big change: No Pride Month displays this year in the library!

On June 6, Kathy contacted us again. It certainly appears her efforts helped cause a big change!

It’s already a week into “Gay Pride Month,” she said, and there are no Pride displays in the library, and not even a hint of Drag Queen shows! The library’s events calendar for June shows no LGBT-related events at all.

“This is the first year with no Pride garbage. It’s an achievement!” she said.

Kathy plans to make good use of this momentum. There should be no pornography targeting children and teenagers there. She will continue to push hard on the Library Board and the city and county officials who appointed them. She’s also working with state legislators on a bill to ban public funding for ALA dues and curtail funding to libraries with pornographic books.

Final thoughts

Just one activist who’s unafraid (very important!), principled, and persistent can do great things! Imagine what a dozen could do. Or fifty.

There’s another important lesson here. In today’s politicized atmosphere, the Left is adept at using intimidation to cultivate fear among conservatives. If you act afraid of those people, it plays right into their hands and they’ll take full advantage. But as Kathy and so many others have found out, if you stand up to them, they become paper tigers.

Let’s join together and take BACK our libraries, schools, and other public spaces!
