There was a book titled Together We March: 15 Protest Movements that marched into History.
Another Book titled “My Single Parent.” Robert A did not even pick up that book. Remembering that this was a children’s book but a grown-up’s (society) problem to solve.
Then there was tis book. “Hear My Voice: The Testimony of children detained at the Southern Border.” Again, a kid’s book that requires a grown-up (society) solutions.
So, why were these kinds of books filling up the Cleveland County Library’s Kid’s Section???
Then, Robert A began noticing a common thread to the books he was looking at.
1.The majority of the books examined started out like a Dr. Seuss book. A silly name for a smiling cartoon animal character that is about to learn a valuable lesson.
2.The first few pages cast the image of a positive learning experience for the readers-kids.
3.About midway, the lessons became more like indoctrination. There were social issues like racism, Global Warming, Protesting and social upheavals were good and the “right” things to do, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, White Supremacy, Social and Emotional learning, Anything divisive. Nothing about building a child’s character, critical thinking skills, finding the truth of the matter, doing good deeds, honoring your father AND mother, Respecting your elders, obedience at home and at school, and other such good and proper things.
4.Toward the end, the kids were led to believe that Socialism would save the day for a decrepit, racist and white supremist America. And a good and wonderful socialist government and socialist leadership would ultimately cure what ails America.
Folks, as Robert A made my way around the Library’s Kids Section ne tried to make sure he looked at a good cross-section of the books on the Kiosks and in the shelves too. A representative sample. There were literally hundreds and maybe thousands of children’s books. So, I made an effort to seek out kid’s books that might be more like what a reasonable person would consider appropriate for a kid’s book. Books that taught patriotism. Books that taught doing good deeds. Like helping an elderly person carry their groceries or cross the street. Something about seeking out a Policeman for help finding your way if you were a kid and had lost your way. Books about Good behavior, bravery and good citizenship. None of that was to be found by Robert A, who made a good faith effort to look for those things too.
So, Robert A upped the ante. He began looking all around for children’s Bible Stories. What he found was a big fat ZERO. Nothing. NADA!!!
Folks, remember, this was only Robert A’s secondary purpose for his trip to the Shelby Library. He had not even began looking into his primary purpose. So, he set off to making his primary search. Looking for the “Gay Pride” stuff that he had been told about.
Robert A, upon leaving the Kid’s Section, continued with his clockwise search of the Library premises. He passed the East side of the Library’s center book checkout area where he picked up a copy of The Spark. A magazine from the Cleveland County Library System. This will be useful as it identifies the Library Board Members and the “Friends of the Library.” This first clockwise sweep half way around the library hadn’t turn up much evidence of an excessive LBGTQ-XYZ presence. Although that would soon change.
About the start of that second half of that first clockwise swing around the Library, Robert A ran into Commissioner Deb Hardin. Commissioner Hardin was in attendance at the previous Saturday’s CCGOP Executive Committee meeting and knew full well of the discovery of the perverted LBGTQ-XYZ material. She correctly believed that Robert A was there to see for himself about that very same thing. Then Robert A informed Commissioner Hardin about his horrific findings in the Kids Section of the Library. Commissioner Hardin told Robert A that she would go look in the Kid’s Section for herself.
After a bit more conversation with Commissioner Hardin, Robert A was off again on his route. About 30 seconds later, Robert A found want he was looking for. Robert A had almost tripped over the kiosk at the front side of the book checkout area and there it was in all of its visual and sinful disgrace. A kiosk with row after row, stack after stack and side after side with everything one would ever want to know about homosexual perversion. Right there in the middle of the library, right there, on the beaten path, where rows of small children, led by adults, were passing. It was early afternoon by then and schools were out. So, the kids were brought in for Library programs. And for exposure to all those dirty books and the kids wondering what all that stuff on the book covers meant. What this Lesbian and Queer and Transgender stuff was all about. All this made Robert A very, very unhappy, disappointed and P.O.’d all at the same time. Robert A went back to where Commissioner Deb Hardin was located and told her that he had just discovered the obvious “stuff” that had set off Commissioner Doug Bridges, Deb Harding and a few others at the Saturday’s CCGOP Executive Committee meeting. Although NOTHING to remove the obscene and indoctrinational CRT stuff had been taken down. All was still there and the Library was operating full speed ahead. Like there was nothing wrong.
Now, for a list of the Cleveland County Library Advisory Board Members: (Who obviously thought that there was nothing wrong here. Or didn’t know what was going on. One could make a good argument that those that truly didn’t know (if any) were the worst violators of the public trust.

Folks, Now you ALL know what the problem is and who is directly responsible. Also, remember that Commissioners Doug Bridges, Deb Hardin, Johnny Hutchins, Ronnie Whetstine, and Kevin Gordon know about this. As well as most of the School Board Members (Robert “Luke” Queen especially as Luke has lied repeatedly about Critical Race Theory and Homo stuff being taught at CCS), Dennis Bailey, Kevin Whisnant, Pam Keller and many others too.)
Also note that Friends of the Library members Roger Harris, Richard Hooker and Shearra Miller were long-time Cleveland County School Board members until they were defeated in the 2020 School Board Elections. Therefore, one has to conclude that the Library/Media Centers at all Cleveland County Schools are ALL filled, probably saturated with the same kinds of books that Robert A just discovered at the Shelby Library. Considering all this and putting 2+2 together equals 4 into the context of the CCS hidden data, such as only 46% of graduating students at CCS are proficient to the 9th Grade level in reading, writing and arithmetic. With NO improvement in sight. Such as this indicates an EDUCATIONAL DISASTER HERE in Cleveland County!!!
Now, it is Friday, July 1, 2022-exactly 7 days after the discovery and there are ZERO signs that anybody is doing anything about the indoctrination of children and their unnecessary exposure to the many varieties of perversion titled LBGTQ-XYZ-Gay Pride stuff. At School and at the library. Is this just another cover-up?? Just say nothing and this scandal will just go away??? Like all the rest!!!
There is No news of the Commissioners doing anything. The School Board is silent, although they called a secret Special Called Session this past Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at 11:30 PM and didn’t notify anybody. Even though a Notification is required by North Carolina Law. According to the meeting agenda that was secretly inserted into the School Board’s document files, there was nothing “Special” about this Called Meeting except maybe the Closed-Door session containing a lawsuit against the School Board filed by Luke Queen’s XYZ paramour. Nothing about the indoctrination of students and the time taken by the indoctrination and perversion away from the studies of reading, writing and arithmetic.
Folks, Now, it is time for a WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) analysis. And a disclosure of What would Robert A do if he were a Cleveland County Commissioner??? This would be in order considering that some folks are encouraging Robert A to run for that office in 2024. AND Robert A is thinking hard about that possibility
However, as this report has reached well over 3,000 words and that WWJD and WW-Robert A do analysis on this very complex issue would be almost as long.
So, Robert A will “pause” this article, let you take a short break and then finish up in Part II of this subject article.
Stay Tuned. YOU are about to read about an innovative and unique solution to a serious problem here in Cleveland County. And, Robert A believes GOD the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost too, would approve of this solution. And so should the taxpayers and parents of Cleveland County.
