<div>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> </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.</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </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> </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?</div>
