LaVonnia Moore spent 15 years nurturing a library in rural Georgia where every patron felt valued. In June, her career was abruptly terminated following complaints from conservative groups about a children's book featuring a transgender character. The book, titled 'When Aidan Became a Brother', was selected for a summer reading display. After complaints surfaced regarding this display, local government officials coordinated to dismiss Moore. Records indicate that various officials, including county commissioners and a library board member, were involved in the discussions leading to her termination.
The catalyst for LaVonnia Moore's termination was the inclusion of 'When Aidan Became a Brother', an award-winning picture book about a transgender boy, in a summer reading display.
Local government leaders in Pierce County swiftly coordinated actions to fire Moore in response to complaints from a small group of conservative activists regarding the transgender-themed book.
