'Too Much Fear and Woke-ness': Actor Kirk Cameron Speaks Out After Library Cancels His Event With Riley Gaines

Billy Hallowell : Aug 4, 2023  Faithwire.com

"These libraries should really be grateful that so many parents and children are excited to visit them tomorrow. With e-books and other online reading options, sit-down libraries are becoming irrelevant and obsolete to the younger generation..." -Kirk Cameron

[Faithwire.com] A conservative legal firm is demanding a library reconsider canceling a family-friendly, book-reading event featuring actor Kirk Cameron and activist Riley Gaines. (Screengrab image)

First Liberty Institute attorney Jeremy Dys, who represents Cameron and his publisher Brave Books, fired off a letter Thursday to the Madison Public Library in Huntsville, Alabama, urging the institution to reverse the cancellation.

Cameron and Gaines were scheduled to read their children's books at the Madison Public Library as part of Brave Books' "See You at the Library Day," a national effort at hundreds of libraries across the US to read and share family-friendly content.

"Upon learning that Mr. Cameron and his friend and Brave Books author, Riley Gaines, will be attending in person, you abruptly cancelled the event citing 'security concerns' from a potential protest of Mr. Cameron and claiming the event exceeds the library's capacity," Dys wrote in his letter.

The lawyer stated any refusal to overturn the cancellation will be seen as "unlawful and unconstitutional religious viewpoint and content discrimination in violation of the Alabama Constitution and the First Amendment to the US Constitution."

As for Cameron, he told CBN's Faithwire Friday morning why he's not backing down from the fight.

"These libraries should really be grateful that so many parents and children are excited to visit them tomorrow," he said. "With e-books and other online reading options, sit-down libraries are becoming irrelevant and obsolete to the younger generation."

Cameron said libraries should capitalize on this family-friendly movement and embracing it. And he wasn't done there, expressing his belief biases are at play.

"Too much fear and woke-ness has made the ALA and these librarians go mad," he said. "They are cutting off their nose to spite their face"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
