Ah yes from the party who constantly whines about their first amendment rights being 'violated' on social media fires librarians for speaking out against actual censorship from the government.

"Honestly, the fact that you're not just rolling over and letting me fuck you is making me feel pretty uncomfortable. You're taking an aggressive stance and I feel violated that you won't let me control your rights. I feel unsafe continuing this conversation without flexing my second amendment rights."

The fact that I can’t predict your genitals is unsafe and I feel scared you have to die. Somehow you’re the snowflake.

Only fascists are banning books.

Are any books in america being banned? I would think that it would be almost impossible to ban books unless they go directly against the first amendment.

Censorship is different than banning. If you care about censorship happening inside public libraries, that always happens and its not a bad thing, we dont publicly provide every book to everyone.

God I love librarians.

Especially wearing glasses and telling me where to find books on bamboo construction. Whew boy they're the hero's we need
