    From the article:

    Paul Hyde, a Granbury attorney who served on the volunteer committee tasked with reviewing dozens of school library books, said he informally advised two of the accused librarians early in London’s investigation and saw the toll it has taken on them.

    “These women, that are amazing educators and librarians, have been terrified for over two years now that they’re going to get arrested, hauled off to jail on a felony charge of providing pornography to minors,” Hyde said, noting that one of the librarians left the district as a result.

    “We lost a great librarian,” he said.

    Anyone who thinks it’s a non-issue because charges weren’t filed should understand that intimidation is the point. It looks like the intimidation worked.

    Found the article.

    It’s so incredibly stupid how he takes himself so seriously; he’s like if Poirot had a satchel of lead beads he would stick up his nose occasionally.

    And then like a coward he won’t elaborate on his master plan of making education and edification punishable by law.

    He wasted important people’s time and then just fucked off, pretending it never happened.

    What a dunce; no wonder he became a cop.

      TY for sharing the article!

      “London, who has ties to the anti-government constitutional sheriff’s movement and tried to launch a local chapter of the far-right Oath Keepers militia in 2020, did not respond to questions.” No surprises here.

      Also, homeschooling parents complaining @ a school board meeting? Wtf?? 🤔
