Why do people have such an aversion to reading to such a degree that they believe they can tell the rest of us what we can or can't consume for literature? I don't care how much you try to ban a book if I want to read it Im Gonna read it.
Thank you, Dolly. And I hope everyone else who has a large audience following calls out each and every one of these turds for their cruelty.
Don't f*ck with Dolly. She has done so much good for our world.
Dear Dolly Parton, you are a national monument and do so much extraordinary good for people. I hope MAGA messed with the wrong woman this time and you drive these guys to hell.
I hope the Hoosiers protest en masse. Libraries are knowledge and the Constitution is designed to protect freedom of speech both spoken and written. This is an attempt to destroy cultural diversity and create a revisionist history. Sound familiar? Besides Dolly is an astounding individual!
Completely a small dick energy move! We know your dicks are tiny! Quit punishing everyone else over it! Get a dick enlargement with all money you're getting from taxpayers!! Hopefully it works out like twitlers did.......not! Wonder if that's why all of his kids were ivf!
Dolly knows the hopefulness imagination can bring. She was so poor as a child that it was the only thing that gave her comfort for a great future. Imagination can get you through a lot of tough spots. That’s why the mind police want to kill it.
Dolly Parton's "Imagination Library" program is simply extraordinary! It has not only introduced us to an array of remarkable authors and their captivating books, but also ignited a passion for reading and learning in children. It's a true gift to the world!

Your comment appears to poke fun at the idea that a children's book about a kind tractor helping kittens could be viewed as "subversive." It's more likely that any defunding is due to budgetary cuts or political decisions, rather than any controversy over content. Imag lib has an array of books.
The book encourages heroism, firefighting, and responsibility in the face of danger, as well as friendship, camaraderie, love, and kindness towards animals.
Honestly, so much of what is going on is imagination killing, actually replacing the freedom of imagination with the distortion of delusion. Dolly has always fueled our imaginations.
Our governor, MAGA Mike Braun, is trying to pull this state back to the 1920's. A little history. Big KKK stronghold in the Midwest in the past. Still is today. Red and ignorant for the most part now, but had some prosperous years with Dems as governor. Now it's a dumpster fire. Racist & homophobic.
This is so sad because we have her in our library where I live in Indiana. So sick of what they are doing. Braun is coming after medicaid next. And didn't know if you heard they passed a bill trying to take over Illinois counties that voted red which will never happen. Republicans are dumb

Such a petty, vindictive thing to do. It truly shows the level of hate directed at anyone they don't like or who have actually invested in a better life for all.
What kind of a moron do you have to be to get on the wrong side of Dolly Parton???
Is there some kind of recessive Offensive Idiot gene that’s usually dormant that got turned on when Ronald Reagan got elected and conservatives just started breeding with other conservatives?
I remember how excited we would be when the bookmobile visited our rural, one room schoolhouse. I can imagine how excited these children must be when they receive these books. Reading is so essential to learning that it's hard to imagine someone refusing to participate in such a program.
There are some people that you should just not piss off. I think poking the Dolly might just be a lot worse than poking the bear. How could anyone be so disrespectful to such a caring woman?
Boo Indiana Gov. but I understand. You shouldn’t encourage literacy, exposure to new situations, the power of imagination and the resultant critical thinking in folx you wish to oppress…
Reading allowed me to “escape” my troubled parents when I was a child. I escaped to far off lands and dreamed of all the amazing adventures I would have.
Reading gave me hope.
Learning the love of reading at such a young age is so important.
Dolly, they want to keep ppl dumb. Uneducated ppl are easier to con. They can get richer that way. This is the greedy capitalist-pig mentality. And I hope she knows the racists are running our government. They want to oppress.
I'm a Hoosier who most certainly did not vote for Braun. He's an excrescence. I'm afraid Dolly can't expect him to do anything as rational as reverse course on this stupid idea.
You go Dolly. You are not and have not been political. All you want to do is give kids books. Who in their right mind would complain about your Imagination Library? Only someone who wants to keep the poor illiterate.

Welp. I'm standing back and counting, waiting for her fans to take it from here! She's a gem and has put her money in the right places. What a piece of garbage that governor must be to go after a program which helps children.
Whoever elected him, time for you folks to tell him to step down.

“The beauty of the Imagination Library is that it unites us all—regardless of politics—because every child deserves the chance to dream big and succeed."
False. That may have been true once. But now the idea every child deserves a chance to succeed is not a value on the right.
Dolly Parton’s ‘Imagination library’ sounds like a beautiful gift to kids. A free book each month to every child in the state up til 5 years old - improving literacy, encouraging education - what’s not to like or support?!
These stories are the kind of behavior for which the world celebrates USA
tRump wants to continue dumbing down the masses so no one questions his idiotic self interests and decisions. Only someone who cares about lifting people up would care about this reading program. Should have voted Harris!
I genuinely almost fell when I read she was Appalachian.(a vending machine caught me)
My white side is Appalachian. They are crazy, and will mess people up.

Early literacy & imagination deserve a home where progressives invest in dreams and education—not a place that undervalues her legacy.

A treasure we don’t really deserve ❤️
:Tennessee hated that:
We're so fucked.
Another backward region.
We ride at dawn.
A curious child likes to learn, and Republicans apparently have an issue with education.
🙄

SUE THEM.
She is fighting against people who don't want children to use their imagination.
