Calibrate Conversations w/ Brady Cone
The Dirty Secret Hiding in Libraries (Every Parent Needs to Hear This)
Today’s episode exposes an issue far deeper than most parents realize: what’s actually inside our public and school libraries. The journey began when I opened a copy of Gender Queer in a small-town bookstore and saw a graphic sexual illustration—sitting in plain view for any child to pick up. That moment sent me down a trail that led from local libraries all the way up to the American Library Association.
To help us understand the full picture, I interview Bonnie Wallace from Llano County, Texas. Bonnie discovered explicit books containing graphic scenes, sexual content, and online grooming pathways—in the children’s section of her library. When she raised concerns, she and her county were sued for simply moving the books to the adult side.
Her legal battle went from the local level, to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court—resulting in a landmark decision affirming the right of libraries to protect kids from inappropriate material.
In this conversation, we break down:
-How radical ideology has infiltrated the American Library Association and state library associations
-Why explicit materials are being pushed toward minors
-Why some books are too explicit for prisoners, yet accessible to children
-How pornography and graphic content shape a child’s mind
-What Christian librarians and Christian parents must do
-Practical steps for protecting your kids at home, school, and in your county
-Why Christians must run for school boards, library boards, and local office
-And why “book banning” is a false narrative—this is about book boundaries, not censorship
Parents: your vigilance matters. Shepherd your kids’ hearts. Guard what they see. Engage in your local community.
If one woman can take on the library industry and win, imagine what thousands of Christians standing up for righteousness could do.
