In this segment, Marc discusses the ongoing controversy over library book content in the St. Charles City-County Library System. He slams the left's usual accusation of “book banning” and emphasizes that the real issue is protecting children from sexually explicit material without parental consent. Guest Theresa Lintzenich, a local resident and parent advocate, joins the show to explain how the library board recently changed its policy for challenging books—but not enough. Theresa recalls challenging a graphic puberty book titled It's Perfectly Normal that included sexually explicit illustrations, including depictions of same-sex and opposite-sex acts. She explains the new policy allows residents like her to appeal to the Board of Trustees, but it still requires a supermajority (6 of 9 trustees) to actually remove any challenged books—making success highly unlikely unless the board makeup changes. Marc agrees the revision is an improvement but criticizes the board for not going far enough. He calls on conservative voters in St. Charles County to step up and get involved, especially in such a red area where common-sense reforms should be easier to push through.
