I was fired from a library for answering affirmatively a co-worker's question "do you think the President is doing a good job?" Intellectual freedom, my ass.
That's the only reason I clicked into this post. Of all the people I have encountered in over thirty-five years of working, Library Science people are hands-down the most unabashedly marxist. People in other "disciplines" may be marxist assholes, but most of them have no idea why they believe what they believe. The librarians know how fucked up marxism is and yet still cling to it.
I was born to be a librarian, and am total free thought/inquiry. All the workers in the Temple of Ideas I worked in were women, hoping for Bernie to free them from the debt 'muh degree' saddled them with. They don't realize any chan user could replace them without a hitch, as far as the mechanics of library goes. I've been ILLing stuff...so far, every thing I request they end up buying. I'm just waiting to request John Ross' 'Unintended Consequences', even though I own it. heh heh heh
No offense to you, personally, and I apologize for painting with so broad a brush. My experience with Library Science types goes back to the 1980s and has held true even with those who work in other fields.
Somebody told me years ago that it all goes back to the depraved influence of Melvil Dewey, the prototypical "male feminist" (with all that the scare quotes entail).
No offense, it is what it is. I was a cool librarian, treated the 'patrons' like valued customers. Loathed working with the union mentality types and the 'muh degree' sort.
They tend to be censorious types. You can read whatever you want as long as it's on THEIR approved list. At the same time they love to virtue signal about how they provide free access to information.
Prior to Kelley's removal, the American Library Association released material instructing employees to embrace "critical librarianship,"
For those not familiar with the tenets and beliefs of Critical Theory; it can be paraphrased as the ALA was instructing its members to become a type of marxist.
Now if we could get teachers to say "Our job as teachers is to provide access to information from all points of view"

They would LOVE to hear from you!

Not a surprise. I have librarians in my family.

Kudos to this guy for standing up to the cartel.
