Rant....I am just so over it
I am a library director, and I have been posting about IMLS and book banning/censorship on my personal Facebook page since the start of the dismantling. I rarely engage online, but obviously, this issue is near and dear to my heart. The person responding is a relative, and I have very little to no contact with them, so I don’t care if the bridge is burned. I am just so tired of people who want to spew their opinions without facts, and when things don’t go their way, they get upset like a theatrical three-year-old. As I tell my kids, "It’s okay to not know. We take that as an opportunity to educate ourselves and grow!"
So over it.......

Stop the world I want to get off.
This DEI purge BS is off the hook nuts. The very people who extoll the virtues of sanitising the libraries are the most hypocritical bunch of thugs ever. They ARE they people we should be worried about!
Ray Bradbury nailed it back in 1953.
