Claudya Muller, the director of the Chattahoochee Valley Regional Library System,\u00a0told the Ledger-Enquirer that\u00a0the ban \u201chad nothing to do with what he was saying, but he was warned multiple times. \u2026 As people came in, he would approach them. He prevented people from simply using the library.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Two things that aren\u2019t surprising from this story\u2026<\/p>\n

1.)\u00a0 His mom has contacted the American Center for Law and Justice (a Christian advocacy group)<\/p>\n

2.) He is home-schooled.<\/p>\n

Personally, the library seems like they acted reasonably- given that several library-goers complained about the situation.\u00a0 I\u2019m interested to see how this story ends though- apparently the boy and his parents are \u201cstill praying about what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
