SOME QUESTIONS:
1. Are your potential guests thoroughly vetted with background checks, including criminal convictions, charges, and restrictions?
2. Where will these programs be conducted and what protections will be in place for those members of the library who want to use the facilities but not be exposed to offensive programs, exhibitors, and material?
3. Will the library give parents full disclosure of the detailed content of the intended program before they leave their children in the library's care?
4. Will the programs be video recorded and available to inquiring members of the library?
5. Will the library accept potential liability for lawsuits from parents of abused, offended, exploited, and/or traumatized children resulting from your guests/programs?
6. What is your definition of inclusion? Would "inclusion" include the KKK? Satanists?
7. What is the criteria that designates a diverse library? Would "diverse" include the KKK? Satanists?
8. Are there particular guidelines that are in place or will any be enacted to protect children from sexually explicit materials and/or potential abuses?
9. How are unattended children monitored at the library?
10. Which staff member would monitor children who may potentially be exposed to sexual abuse from drag queen performers?
11. Many drag queens, LGBTQ, and affiliated groups have recorded hateful and disrespectful comments towards Christians and other conservative groups, mocking them on their websites and openly deriding their beliefs. This should be considered hateful activity and designate them as a hate groups/individuals.
12. Are you aware that other libraries are encountering convicted pedophiles being given access to children during drag queen story hours?
13. Would the St. Croix County Sheriff's Department be notified of any potential exposure of children to pornographic/sexually explicit situations with a drag queen story hour? What about the Health and Human Services Department?
14. News media have published a photo of a drag queen in Hennepin County, Minnesota, Library flashing his genitals to toddlers during story time. This would be a felony crime in Wisconsin under WI Statutes, Section 948, Crimes Against Children. Would the library condone this activity?
15. Are the Library employees and volunteers, currently, or would they be, hereafter, required to be mandatory reporters according to the statutory guidelines in WI Stat. 48.981 (2) pertaining to abuse?
Add your own individual questions during Citizen Comments at the beginning of the meeting.
