Members of St. Marys five-person city commission, all of whom are members of an extreme Catholic religious sect, have threatened to pull the lease of the public library if they don't remove all LGBTQ+ and other "socially divisive" books from the shelves. Their efforts have drawn a warning from the ACLU of Kansas.

"Socially divisive"? I can think of a book that's been divisive for about 2000 years.

As a city commissioner, he feels it is his duty to remove transgender content — “garbage,” as he refers to it....“God doesn’t make mistakes,”

God doesn't make mistakes? Explain the need for the flood. Or the need for a human sacrifice on the cross.
