"There's this reality of the organization in question being called Moms for Liberty, when what they're trying to do is restrict the liberty of other people's kids to read what librarians and teachers deem appropriate for those other people's kids to read," he said. Green said in his TikTok video that Farrant's position "is weird on a few levels" and that he didn’t agree. “There are thousands of parents with high standards who try everything that they can to make sure that their kids that don’t have access to things that are encouraging them to go and have sex.” “We have morals and values,” Farrant had told Spectrum News 13. The story reports that Orange County school board candidate Alicia Farrant, a member of the conservative Moms for Liberty group, believed Green's book, as well as "Let’s Talk About It," a sex and relationships guide for teenagers written by Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan, should be considered too "explicit" for school libraries. 11, Green shared text from a local news story published by Orlando, Florida, station Spectrum News 13. Author John Green responded to a suggestion by a school board candidate in his hometown that his first novel, "Looking for Alaska," be pulled from public school libraries.
