Appreciate this excellent article. I was surprised to see that, as a reporter, Susan Wade feels comfortable adding her name to this group. It shows how the “news media” is bottoming out as a source for objective reporting.

Other names from activists in our area: U-turn in Education founder Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk, U-turn in Education member Tamara Yancey, Haylee Anderson, former CCL board member Allyson Tuckness, Nixa library branch manager Brandon Jason, and Otter Bowman who is a past president of the Missouri Library Association.

It’s amazing that they think we won’t notice their activism or their radical beliefs.

Mr. Rice,

Posting an entire article from another publication as you have done in this blog post is copyright infringement, which can carry significant criminal and civil penalties. You can learn more about copyright law at https://www.copyright.gov/.

Your article also contains factual errors and defamatory statements about me. In Missouri, libel is a civil crime with monetary penalties. Here's a source you might find helpful. https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/missouri-defamation-law.
