“Our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist,” read the language the commission voted to send to the ALA.

Neat trick considering that said document predates and therefore has no concept of Marxism.

The library I work at has had Moms for Liberty attend a couple of meetings demanding we withdraw books that are against their beliefs, no specific titles, just a general demand. They have also said we need to stop allowing the staff from joining ALA or the state library association. If this upsets you at all, please go to a library board meeting and voice your support for the library. Some even let you write in. Groups like MFL make it a point to attend a lot of the meetings in hopes to get their way, and it’s working in some areas.
