Junior League Galveston County’s Response to Book Complaint: Promoting Equity and Inclusion

This was awkward.

The Junior League Galveston County (JLGC) is a non partisan organization dedicated to empowering young women. Take a moment and visit their website. It’s impressive.

In early June Natalie Sharp, the Executive Vice President Elect of JLGC, wrote an email to the Holly Hall Library staff and the Book Burning Bitch Justin Hicks complaining about a book titled Big Wig. She signed the email with her JLGC title. According to JLGC she was not authorized to do that. You can read that email here. (open records requests can be a gold mine)

Yesterday JLGC responded. As I thought they do not involve themselves with book burning nonsense. From the letter:

Creating and sustaining a diverse Membership is critical to our Mission. We are dedicated to centering equity, inclusion, and belonging in our individual, organizational, and community relationships. We believe that living these values strengthens our community and aligns with our commitment to fostering understanding and respect among all our members.

Suck it Justin.
