HB27, the Librarian Protection Act is a dangerous overreach that removes local control, undermines parental authority, and forces taxpayers to fund controversial materials in public libraries.
By tying New Mexico library policies to the American Library Association’s (ALA) agenda, this bill prioritizes progressive ideology while failing to protect conservative and faith-based content. It strips communities of their right to determine what is appropriate for public spaces, leaving parents with no say in what their children are exposed to.
If passed, HB27 would mandate compliance with an out-of-state advocacy group, preventing libraries from reflecting the values of the people they serve. We must take action to stop this bill and protect parental rights, community standards, and true intellectual freedom. |
