Director Discarded by Library Board After She

The director of a Tennessee county library district has been fired after refusing to take away almost 200 of what she described in a letter as “‘LGBTQ-plus themed/teen books” from the kids’s space of the branches she was employed to supervise. 

She’s been… discarded, so to communicate:

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — A dispute over more than 190 books in the kids’s part of the Rutherford County library system ended with the firing of library director Luanne James following a board vote Monday evening.

The choice got here after a tense public assembly, where board members clashed over whether or not the titles needs to be moved to the grownup part. At the middle of the controversy was the director’s refusal to relocate the books, a stance that drew both assist and criticism from the group and officers.

Supporters argued the choice ought to stay in the arms of skilled library professionals and warned against proscribing access to supplies. Others on the board maintained the issue was about oversight and figuring out what is acceptable for youthful readers.

By the end of the assembly, James was let go from her job. The report by WKRN (linked above) added that the destiny of the books is still undecided.

In case you are , here is the letter I discussed close to the top. As these varieties of pseudo-freedom lovers who just need to save the kids (and did I point out, freedom) have a tendency to do, it is little more than a caustic screed about allegedly preventing censorship. Buckle up!

I’m upset that I misplaced my job as director of the county library system. I misplaced it for doing precisely what librarians are supposed to do, shield the rights of all group members to access books and data. 

I used to be instructed by the Rutherford County library board to relocate effectively over 100 books, including LGBTQ plus themed/teen books. I refused to do so because I imagine such motion constitutes censorship, violates the first modification and goes against my responsibility to uphold mental freedom through American Library Association tips.

Public libraries are group boards, serving your complete group, not just those who share the loudest voice or the most restricted views. Librarians shouldn’t be used as a filter for political agendas. 

I stood up for the proper to read —standing for the residents of Rutherford County. I imagine my firing is an illegal act of viewpoint discrimination. This motion hurts library patrons, not just the librarian.

I’ve labored throughout my skilled profession to gain the data, expertise and trust to grow to be a library director. This trust compels me to combat for the freedom of this group to read freely. This consists of the proper of younger people to access books and concepts, and to resist an order to primarily conceal the books. 

She closed the rant by saying she’s “exploring all legal options to challenge this retaliatory termination,” and that she thinks the board eradicating her is “illegal.” Her hope, she said, was that her activism at the library “encourage[s] others to stand against the targeting of our public institutions.”

This is how they suppose on the Left. They are the virtuous victims right here. The fact is that no one is focusing on libraries or any other public establishment from the Conservative facet; if anybody is, it is them..

No, defending the next technology from the normalization of mental sickness by shelving LGBTQ-plus supplies where only adults can access them isn’t censorship or anti-freedom. The father or mother is a kid’s first and best trainer; a mother or dad wants to be the one to resolve what is acceptable, anyway, not people like this librarian with an clearly slanted political agenda.
