Case Overview
Amanda Jones, a Louisiana librarian, gained national notoriety for advocating that minors should have access to books that discuss sexual topics, including the extremely controversial graphic novel “Gender Queer: A Memoir,” by Maia Kobabe. Our client, Dan Kleinman, posted on social media about how exposing children to such materials constitutes “grooming,” a viewpoint shared by millions of his fellow citizens and even prominent politicians.
For expressing this opinion, Jones sued Kleinman for defamation and false light. Kleinman filed an Anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss this case, which is currently pending.
