A Republican state representative in Arkansas is facing some backlash after it was revealed
that his wife was going around to little free libraries and taking out books that she didn't
like because, you know, they didn't align with her Christian values and replacing them
with copies of the Bible.
The representative is State representative Steven Meeks.
His wife is Jennifer Meeks.
And it wasn't like somebody caught her doing this, you know, on a security camera or somebody
filed a complaint like, Hey, I went to the little free library.
There's nothing but Bibles.
This idiot admitted it on her Facebook page.
And that's actually a relevant point that, uh, contradicts what her husband is saying
about this.
But here is what Jennifer Meeks, the wife of Arkansas State, representative Republican
Steven Meeks, posted on Facebook.
I have been swapping out books in little free libraries for a while.
Recently I've been picking up free bibles at flea markets and thrift stores.
Sometimes I find good devotion books or kids' bible stories at a good price to add or just
great books and a gospel tract is a nice idea too.
And then she replied to a comment, oh no, no, no, no.
And then she added, from what I have seen, a lot of these books and other things don't
align with our Christian values today.
I saw a bunch of pride stuff in one and then she replied to one comment and said, I have
taken out a bad one and left a good one in its place.
So it's important to note everything she admitted to because her husband, as I said, is taking
a lot of heat for this.
Like, Hey, why is your wife taking away books?
And you know, as far as we know, like literally disposing of them turning them into garbage
and leaving Bibles instead.
If she wants Bibles to be in the little free libraries, put the Bibles in, but don't touch
the rest of the stuff.
Steven Meeks says this, somebody on the left took that and interpreted as my wife going
all over central Arkansas pulling pride books outta these little libraries and replacing
'em with bibles and nothing is further from the truth.
Uh, my wife would not do that.
She would not advocate for that.
She would be opposed to that.
Do do I?
Do I need to read her own Facebook posts where she literally admits to every single thing
you just claimed she would never do.
She admitted to it on Facebook, you dip.
She said she did it.
She didn't say she's adding Bibles to it, which, hey, go for it.
Fine.
She said she's swapping them out and she's been doing it for a while.
She says
She's taking away books because they didn't align with our Christian values.
No, they didn't align with your viewpoints.
So, because you're so worried about kids being indoctrinated, you've decided to indoctrinate
them into your Christian values, which you decided to bring up on your own.
So Steven Meeks is lying about his wife.
His wife is walking around town like a little, you know, uh, uh, just, I don't, I don't wanna
use Nazi imagery, but you know, a little, uh, Christian warrior, I guess we'll call
her, but that's not your place to do it.
These little free libraries are to get kids interested in reading.
Nobody is interested.
I'm sorry, but I don't care how religious you are.
Nobody's interested in sitting down and reading the Bible.
You're actually turning kids off of reading by doing that.
You're also much more importantly, closing off their minds.
You're telling them that there is only one way to look at the world when there's a million
different ways to look at the world.
You and your belief system are not the only one or belief system that exists.
Everybody's entitled to their own beliefs, but everybody is also entitled to be able
to learn and you are taking that away from them.
That is what this woman is doing.
And her husband, Arkansas Republican state representative Steven Meeks, is lying through
his teeth about what his own wife put on Facebook.
