Kirk Cameron Petitions Feds To Investigate American Library Association For Anti-Christian Discrimination

The Christian Post reports:

Kirk Cameron and his publisher, Brave Books, are calling on the federal government to investigate the American Library Association as the Christian author and actor claims the association advised libraries to find ways to block or sabotage his upcoming nationwide event in August.

Representing Cameron and Brave Books, the Texas-based First Liberty Institute sent a letter to the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington, D.C., asking the federal agency to “open an investigation into whether the American Library Association has violated federal law protecting religious liberty and failed to comply with the assurances of nondiscrimination required as a federal grant recipient.”

“The taxpayer-funded American Library Association is not only criticizing me, they are teaching libraries to break the law and conspiring to prevent thousands of families from visiting their own community reading rooms,” Cameron said.

In late May, Cameron launched a tour of libraries to promote his anti-LGBTQ children’s book, Pride Comes Before the Fall. In March, his complaints about a Tennessee library resulted in its director getting fired. Library staffers were deluged with harassment and a bomb threat. The American Library Association is the world’s largest such group with nearly 50,000 members.
