<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">As a member of the Public Library Association's Task Force (now Committee) on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in 2017, I recall our discussions as we recommended social justice be added to our group's name and prioritized along with equity, diversity, and inclusion as a major goal in <a href="https://www.ala.org/pla/about/mission/strategicplan">PLA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan</a>. We defined social justice as <i>"full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs."</i> I see this principle as in direct alignment with the other principles in the ALA Code of Ethics. It's unfortunate that full and equal participation of all groups in society is such a polarizing idea.<div><br></div><div>When we drafted the <a href="https://www.ala.org/pla/initiatives/edi/calltoaction">Statement and Call to Action for Public Library Workers to Address Racism</a> last summer, it was with the understanding that library workers must be able to deeply engage in discussions and develop new practices that consciously work to dismantle racism if we are to have any chance of creating institutions that truly provide for everyone in our communities. There are many identities -- race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, etc. -- that may lead to people being marginalized or harmed in their encounters with libraries. Again, we have to be able to address structural issues intentionally if we want to change that.

To truly be inclusive and diverse, we need to be willing to tolerate ALL opinions right? Even the 'far right' ideology that seems to be currently politically incorrect. Tolerance must go both ways, otherwise, we are also bullying people into silence. <br>

I'd like to support Karyn Ruley's concerns about ALA's most recent addition to their Code of Ethics. Reading through the first eight principles, and into the first sentence of the ninth, there is a sense of the universal and of the common humanity we share with ourselves and our patrons. "...all library users", "...each library user's rights", and "...the inherent dignity and rights of every person", changes dramatically in tone with "dismantle systemic and individual biases" and "advance racial and social justice". <br>
<br>
Absolutely this is worthy of discussion, and this is the place for it. <br>
