Former member of the ALA gave up my membership about ten years ago. Even then the forums were leaning very left and this was reflected every day among those I worked with at several different Libraries. I think it was the discussions on removing the N word from Huck Finn that put me over the line. No Librarian should ever be supporting revisionist History to comply with modern viewpoints. A subject which greatly concerns me today with the advent of the Digital Age. As it is becoming increasingly easier for those with power to change our very history with a few strokes of a keyboard.

Probably the greatest example of ignorance is the banning and censoring of Huck Finn. Joe was the best person in the book. It was almost subversive for the time.
The same books have been in libraries for decades, actually more than that. And now you all of a sudden have a problem with some of these books. Why is that.
huh? What books that have been in libraries 'for decades, no, actually more than that' do i have a problem with?
Librarians are one of those professions that any good prosecutor or civil defense attorney will automatically strike from any jury. Same goes for public school teachers, government employees, and unemployed people.
The real "woke" part of the story is the ALA electing this person the President. If that doesn't scream "virtue" I don't know what does because I've noticed the woke will go out of their way to find the most, I want to say non mainstream person to put in positions of power to 'stick it to' whoever they consider their enemy. Maybe she's great at being a librarian but should keep her politics out of it since libraries already gifted us with drag queens I think they've stepped in it too much already.
I just use the library to reserve books online and pick them up/drop them off.
if your library stocked the children's section with 'white power' brochures or manuals on homemade explosives, would you act to get rid of them?
and would doing so make you 'a threat to a free society'?
just curious.
Bam!
