LGBT propaganda debate heats up just before August election
"I probably wouldn't run again because the things that are said to me are just ridiculous, and I don't know what person would want this job. This is not the best paying job I've ever had!" Schlabach said. (See video HERE.)
Schlabach's comments came during last Tuesday's commission discussion on a new Library Policy prepared by Library Director Eric Head, who spent the last few months drafting a policy after it was revealed during the past year's controversy over the June 2021 LGBT Pride Month displays that the library system didn't have a written policy.
Despite Head's cancelation of "Pride Month" celebrations this June because of the controversy, the library policy as drafted does not address community concerns about the displays and could allow their return due to the inclusion of language that "adopts" the guidelines of the ultraliberal American Library Association, which has a record of aggressively promoting LGBT materials, displays and events targeting children, including Drag Queen Story Hours.
Many residents urged commissioners to amend the policy to protect children from the ALA's radical LGBT grooming agenda.
"These associations have become tainted. Look at Disney," said Vickie Robinson of Hernando. "Keep the LGBTQ agenda out of our taxpayer-funded institutions. You have, whether you like it or not, a conservative county. Honor that."
Commission Chairman Ron Kitchen heeded that call by making a motion to amend the policy to ban sexual orientation displays and any displays that violate community standards. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Scott Carnahan, but it was voted down 3-2, with Schlabach, Holly Davis, and Jeff Kinnard voting against it. The vote was not particularly surprising, since the same three commissioners voted against a similar proposal by Kitchen in January.
The first time she voted against Kitchen's motion seven months ago, Schlabach said she was "confused." This time, her excuse was that the phrase sexual orientation was "unclear," but she didn't bother offering an amendment to make it clearer.
Davis claimed a "Pride Display" is needed because "the LGBTQ community just wants to be accepted," despite the LGBT movement's increasing focus on indoctrinating children with radical gender ideology and encouraging them to explore different "gender identities."
Kinnard tried to disclaim responsibility by saying he was deferring to the unelected Library Advisory Board, despite his vote in April to reappoint all existing liberal LAB members and reject the unprecedented 39 applicants who were offering a different perspective.
Davis then made a motion, seconded by Kinnard, to adopt the Library Policy as submitted – in other words, to allow LGBT displays. That motion was approved 3-2, with Kitchen and Carnahan voting no.
The battle to take back Citrus County from the LGBT woke mafia now shifts to the upcoming Aug. 23 primary election. Virtually all the candidates running for County Commission this year are running as "Republicans" (because it's the only way to get elected in Citrus County), but that doesn't mean they're conservative, just as Holly Davis, Ruthie Schlabach and Jeff Kinnard are not conservative at all, despite all being "Republicans."
One of the Republican candidates for the District 2 commission seat, Stacey Worthington, has come out in favor of allowing LGBT displays in the libraries. Her opponent Diana Finegan opposes the displays. Diana Finegan is also pro-life and deserves our vote.
In the Citrus County School Board race, Mary Seader is the only candidate who has taken a stand against the Citrus County school system's "transgender policy," which allows students to identify as the opposite sex. Seader has been an outspoken critic of transgender insanity in the schools and deserves a seat on the School Board.

Early voting for the Aug. 23 primary begins on Aug. 12.
