Fortunately, Karen, many of us do NOT agree with your far-right ideologies. We are not being forced into this. We are not being uncourageous because of what we believe in.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
We believe that libraries are a place of inclusion and diversity, and that unfortunately, work is needed to ensure that those are a cornerstone of being a public library. It should not be a leftist ideal to want to eradicate racism in our communities and libraries, and it should not be a leftist ideal to believe that libraries are a place of inclusion and diversity.

I've seen your facebook page and the 'ideals' you spout. And in that, I am very grateful you don't work in my local public library.

Hello,
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I would like to remind everyone that the ALA has no authority over any
</div>
<div>
library whatsoever. Just because they are moving to make libraries places of
</div>
<div>
leftist activism, pushing ideologies stemming from Marxism and critical race
</div>
<div>
theory, does not mean you have to as well.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Start speaking up and having more courage about this. The parents in schools
</div>
<div>
can do it. Where do you think the kids go AFTER school?
