In a powerful and heartfelt address to the Cherry Creek School Board, Carl Redman shed light on the disturbing presence of inappropriate books available in school libraries—both online and offline. With a strong sense of urgency and dedication to protecting children, Carl voiced the concerns of countless parents who are deeply troubled by the content their children are being exposed to in an educational setting.
Carl outlined specific examples of books that include explicit material, raising questions about the vetting process for library content and the priorities of the district. His speech emphasized the critical importance of ensuring that school libraries serve as a safe haven for learning, rather than a platform for inappropriate or harmful material. Parents, students, and community members listened intently as Carl urged the board to take immediate action to review and remove these books.
Highlighting the necessity of transparency, Carl also pointed to the availability of these books in digital formats, making it even easier for students to access content that many consider unsuitable for their age. His call to action was clear: schools must prioritize the well-being of their students and uphold the trust of parents by removing inappropriate materials from library shelves.
The Cherry Creek School Board was left with a clear message—parents will not remain silent while their children are exposed to content that compromises their safety and values. Carl’s speech serves as a rallying cry for others to join the fight for accountability and the protection of children in the Cherry Creek School District.
