On March 15, Hendersonville Public Library director Allan Morales was terminated after a 4-3 vote by the Sumner County Library Board due to the “unkind pushback” he allegedly demonstrated during Kirk Cameron’s children’s book reading.
Cameron’s event was hosted by Brave Books on Feb. 25 and included Duck Dynasty star Missy Robertson and former University of Kentucky swimmer-turned-women’s-sports-advocate Riley Gaines.
“At our stop in Hendersonville for the Freedom Island Tour, we received negative pushback from a head official at the public library,” Cameron said in an interview with ChurchLeaders. “The community, however, including hundreds of grateful families and gracious mayors and county commissioners, welcomed us with open arms even while the leadership at the library tried to cancel our event. This is happening all over the country! Many public institutions have been infiltrated with individuals who intentionally silence.”
