This is it. Having unionized my library you'd be surprised (or you wouldn't) by how many librarians opposed unionization and specifically opposed our contractual protections for trans and BIPOC staff. Library workers are just people, and just as bigoted as every other person.
Librarianship is like 90% white and cis women. Many of them are just as bigoted as the rest of the country. Many are very happy about book bans and the shift toward fascism. Many will happily stigmatize and ostracize unhoused, trans, BIPOC, and other vulnerable and marginalized patrons and staff.

I think a clear concrete question people who are worried about the present political trajectory can ask themselves is "how can I support AFSCME and AFGE?"
AFSCME and AFGE, whose members are federal workers, filed a lawsuit today against the Trump administration’s efforts to politicize the civil service. “Together, we are fighting back,” said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. www.afscme.org/blog/afscme-...

I’ll go further. A child in the library is a patron, and, as such, is no one’s property. In my network, when we issue a library card to a kid, we make a point of telling that kid that no one else can use it *or* find out *how* they used it.

A small group of parents should NOT dictate what books other people's children can read.
