It appears that Staples might have an agenda beyond providing office supplies.
Conservative activist Bob Salera, from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has revealed that the popular office supply store canceled his on-site mailbox service after he distributed mailers alerting voters about sexually explicit books being offered to children.
Salera, who founded the organization Stop Bucks Extremism, told Fox Business that he found it “kind of jarring to be banned from an office supply store because of my protected political speech.”
According to an email sent to Salera first obtained by Fox, Staples accused Salera of “violating a user agreement related to offensive treatment of employees.”
The letter claimed that the company’s “management has been extremely patient” and they had taken “all reasonable steps to satisfy your needs as a customer.”
Salera insists that he was “perplexed” by the letter as he had never even interacted with a Staples employee.
“I asked for clarification on the situation because it’s a security risk if I’m being impersonated or something, and they clarified that it was a mailing using the mailbox return address that was offensive to their customers,” Salera said.
Staples cited violations related to two separate mailings to registered voters in sealed envelopes, accompanied by an “explicit content” disclaimer containing graphic images from the books that Salera claims Democrats and progressives are giving to children in local schools.
Some of the titles that Salera was warning parents about included “Gender Queer: A Memoir” and “This Book is Gay,” both of which teach children how homosexuals sexually satisfy one another.
“The images were taken from an iPhone picture of the books that Democrats want in schools,” Salera said.
“The only difference between us and them is that we’re not making these images available to minors, which the Democrats want to do, it was sent inside a sealed envelope with a disclaimer warning there were sexually explicit photos inside,” he continued.
Over the course of recent years, progressives and LGBT activists have aggressively started forcing sexual reading material on minors, sparking alarm and fury among parents trying to protect their children’s innocence.
Last month, Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana read an excerpt from “Gender Queer” aloud in the Senate to prove the shockingly explicit nature of such material.

Efforts to push this material have even received the backing of former President Barack Obama, who has tried to equate concerns with protecting children’s innocence with political censorship.
“It’s no coincidence that these ‘banned books’ are often written by or feature people of color, indigenous people, and members of the LGBTQ+ community — though there have been unfortunate instances in which books by conservative authors or book containing ‘triggering’ words or scenes have been targets of removal,” he wrote in a post on X back on July.
