Please join Glenn Atkinson (Texas) with Co-Hosts Gary Rumer (North Dakota), and, Co-Host Glenn Baxter (Texas) on Monday, June 13, 2016 at 11 AM - 1 PM CST., as we welcome Melanie Graft. Melanie is the wife of Mike Graft and mother to three small children. She was born in California, raised in Wisconsin and feeling Blessed to move to Texas in 1999, she resides in Granbury, Texas.

In May of 2015, Melanie found herself in the middle of a heated debate over LGBT children's books after a regular visit to the library with her four-year-old daughter. While visiting the library her daughter picked up a book, titled, "This Day in June". This book is a picture book for ages 4-8 of an LGBT pride parade. Her daughter unfortunately opened to a page with two men kissing and Melanie was left to explain this to her four-year-old daughter. 

After a simple request to have the book, and several others like it in the children's section of the library, moved to a more appropriate area she was thrown into a media frenzy and personally attacked by the head librarian, ACLU, ALA, county commissioners and county judge. The county commissioners court ruled against parental rights and age appropriateness. 

Tune in to listen to Melanie elaborate on her experiences with this incredible story.
