Jill did a terrific job  -  3 minutes is just not enough time to make the case fully while not being nervous,

Let’s go to the video tape:  http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/videowrapper/default.aspx?CommID=890020  (scroll down to the March 4th On Demand VIDEO, then starting at about 59:00). 

Unfortunately, at that House Cities & Counties Subcommittee meeting, Putnam County Library was raked over the coals by Cookeville Pastor James Fortunato (starting at about 1:03:00 on video)  and Rich ??NAME?? from Warriors for Christ Ministry for their Drag Queen story time during which, they testified, a male exposed his genitals to children.  

This was used by the sponsor of the proposed Parental Oversight of Libraries bill to show that library staff in Tennessee are not doing their job to protect children and this bill will solve the problem. 

Thank you, Jill, for representing Tennessee libraries so ably  -  Don
