Police officers held off angry leftists who attempted to disturb a patriotic Christian book reading featuring evangelical actor Kirk Cameron and conservative activist Riley Gaines on Saturday, Fox News reported.
According to the report, some 100 protesters, including people holding signs reading “Ban bigots” and “Ban hate, not books,” rallied outside the Madison Public Library in Huntsville, Alabama, on Saturday to oppose the book reading. The event was hosted by conservative parental rights group Moms for Liberty and featured Gaines — a former NCAA swimmer best known for speaking out against men competing against women in sports due to transgender ideology — and Cameron, a well-known Christian actor, author, and conservative commentator.
According to Fox News Digital, some of the protesters at the Saturday event attempted to go inside the library during the book reading but were stopped by police.
As LifeSiteNews has previously reported, the patriotic “See You At the Library” story hours bring family-friendly books by Christian children’s publisher Brave Books to Americans nationwide. They are deliberately designed as a counterpoint to the “drag queen story hours” and other sexually inappropriate content increasingly available to children at public libraries.
According to Brave Books, the ambitious movement has “united 300 hosts across 46 states.”
