Drag Performances at the RiverPark Center
The GhostLight Lounge, inside our Beautiful RiverPark Center has been shut down. The RPC Executive Director has moved on and there are no longer drag shows being produced there.
We are still working with the Kentucky State Legislature to craft legislation that will regulate drag performances as the adult entertainment it is.
Porn in Our Library
In August of 2023, Daviess County Citizens for Decency asked the Daviess County Public Library to move all pornographic books out of the teen section and into the adult section. We also asked that all other books in our audit be labelled with content warnings.
The DCPL Board refused. Since the DCPL Board refuses to work with us, we will continue to work with coalition partners across the state to craft legislation to protect our children and their parent’s rights.

Porn in Our Schools
In late July of 2023, still embroiled in the fight with DCPL, Citizens for Decency undertook an audit of all local School libraries. An open records request was sent to Daviess County Public Schools (DCPL) and Owensboro Public Schools (OPS) in care of their respective superintendents. Upon receipt of the requested information, we began combing through it. The volume of pornographic literature was staggering. We submitted our written reports to Anita Burnette (OPS) and Matt Robbins (DCPS) in early October. That report and links to the literature can be found below.
OPS and DCPS are both very fortunate to have had leaders like Mrs. Burnette and Mr. Robbins at the helm during what could have been a very difficult time. Both Superintendents recognized the literature for what it is and promptly had it removed. When asked by a staff member, why he would allow a group like Citizens for Decency to tell them what to do, Mr. Robbins answered, “We’re not, we’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do.” All 79 books were removed from Apollo and Daviess County High Schools libraries. OPS never had as many as DCPS but there were some there. To their credit, of the 11 books cited, 10 were removed.

We advocate for issues like School Choice, Removal of Gender ideology, DEI and CRT from our schools, removal of obscene materials from our children’s libraries, creation of adult entertainment statutes to regulate drag performances, enforcement of age restrictions on internet porn, and other issues critical to the preservation of childhood innocence, the nuclear family and our way of life.
