I was denied by over fifty woke libraries when I asked to read this story
0:05
for kids. Maybe if I dressed in fishnet stockings and heels, I wouldn't
0:10
have had so many doors closed on me. But when we actually showed up
0:14
at the Indianapolis Public Library, who told me in their response to my request,
0:19
were not interested. Our values don't align with yours. Our community doesn't
0:23
want what you have to bring. Over twenty five hundred parents and grandparents and
0:27
children overwhelmed six floors of this giant library. They went down the escalator,
0:32
out the door, and into the parking lot. And these were parents who
0:36
couldn't even get into the reading room because the one they gave us was so
0:40
small. And we did reading room after reading room after reading room, and
0:45
the ones that never got in didn't get upset. They didn't riot, they
0:48
didn't break stuff and light stuff on fire. You know what they did.

They started singing God Bless America and Amazing Grace in the hallways between the rows
0:58
of books, and they started their own story hours for their children.
