Boards are supposed to be made up of regular citizens who simply want the best for their own community. Previously, a number of boards in Lafayette had been overrun with liberal-progressive political activists. Because their agenda is not popular locally, it’s tough to get private funding for their social justice campaigns. Enter public boards and their nearly unlimited tax dollars.
Way back in 2018, we saw attempts by the previous Lafayette library director (Teresa Elberson) to use tax dollars to thrust drag queens on three-year-olds. Not since “no French in schools” had Lafayette’s government made such a concerted effort to change the local culture. Some media outlets with short memories have even suggested that the event took place. It didn’t. Our team, along with a coalition of pastors, churches, and various political parties, conservative and / or Christian groups successfully prevented your tax dollars from being used for such a blatant social justice campaign.
However, we knew that this event showing up in the single most conservative city in the entire United States was a sign of a deeper problem. It was that moment that we realized that somebody had better do something; and so we did. Systematically, we worked to remake the Lafayette Public Library’s Board of Control. Every single one of its members had to go. They all stood by and said nothing when their woke director decided to sexualize children using the public treasury. Today, of the eight, all have been replaced but one who had just been reappointed at the time. That term expires early next year.
The Left is relentless
On October 4, 2022, of the ten library board of control applicants, Lafayette’s Parish Council appointed Erasto Padron. Aside from being a very decorated veteran, he is also the first hispanic appointment to any of Lafayette’s boards that we can find. One might expect the “diversity” crowd to be celebrating such a great victory. However, that’s not been the case. In fact, as usual, they’re pretty angry about it.
All of the public comment appeared to instead suggest that Dr. Christie Maloyed would have been a better choice. We’ve been receiving numerous questions from our own members, the press, and the public at large about the other individual who was nominated. Normally, the victorious party gets all of the attention. However, because our friends at the Louisiana Illuminator discovered that Dr. Christie Maloyed plans to continue submitting her application for any future opening, we decided the public should finally know what we know.
