    Jesus Fucking Christ! The two people that they fired… are NEURODIVERGENT!

    And this is all because of some temporary employee who refused to believe that the autism symbol had nothing to do with Pride.

      Agreed. I had thought it would be a bit more “wink wink nudge nudge”, but no. The display was not about anything than it was.

        It’s absolutely outrageous. My wife is an assistant library administrator. I’m worried for her all the time. If these assholes don’t get their way when it comes to libraries in a legal manner, I’m terrified of what they’ll try to do to get their way.

          My fiance is a librarian in Ohio and we’re planning on moving out of state next year because all this shit. Even when people are being civil, he tells me that the books they’re checking out have been getting really concerning. Mein Kampf is currently on an eight month hold list.

          My father changed jobs from a public librarian to a university librarian largely because of shit like this. It’s getting scary. Someone is gonna get killed eventually.

        Agreed, I’m just saying this is especially egregious. It would be like (although this would be illegal) firing a black person because of a black history display.
