Remember Kelly LaRocca? She was the director of the St. Tammany Parish Library—emphasis on was. In this short and snappy episode, Michael Lunsford recaps how LaRocca’s departure came hot on the heels of a “totally coincidental” series of events involving public pressure, questionable library content, and a sudden leadership shake-up.
In just 30 days, St. Tammany Parish lost both its Library Director and its Board President. Coincidence? Maybe. But when outside forces, obscure Facebook posts, and the public’s growing frustration all converge, it sure smells like accountability. We highlight how the media, library alliances, and woke ideologues like former ALA president Emily Drabinski rallied to LaRocca’s defense, even as parents and taxpayers kept asking: why are there obscene books in the children’s section?
From vulgar content and social justice agendas to Marxist ideology cloaked as library policy, this episode shines a spotlight on the war being waged in your local library—one resignation at a time.
Tune in for the full breakdown—and stay till the end for a preview of what’s brewing in East Baton Rouge Parish next.
