A local prosecutor in Michigan is threatening to use a law aimed at catching predators during sex crime stings to target a public librarian if she does not remove an LGBTQ-themed book from the shelves. The librarian remains steadfast in her opposition to his demand.
Amy Churchill, the director of the Lapeer District Library in a small town in Michigans thumb, says shes undeterred by local county prosecutor John Millers threat to charge her with a felony, Bridge Michigan, a local publication, reports.
Miller demands that she take the book Gender Queer: A Memoir off of the public librarys shelves.
He's said the content is inappropriate for children, as many conservative-led counties and school districts nationwide have deemed the work. In particular, critics argue the artwork inside the book is too graphic for minors.
