Missouri Officials Threaten Library Over Rainbow Story Time | St. Louis News

Missouri’s Daniel Boone Regional Library is set to host a “Rainbow Story Time” event—described as queer-led and family-friendly—despite threats from state officials who claim it’s illegal and inappropriate for children. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Attorney General Catherine Hanaway have sent letters demanding the library cancel, with Hoskins warning of funding cuts and even calling the event “sexual grooming.” But the library stands firm, calling the event a normal, inclusive extension of their programming—and it’s still on for Saturday. This showdown highlights a broader state effort to control children’s exposure to content, while the library fights back.
