Suburban Chicago library set to fire only African American librarian who spoke out about racial equity

No. But if you’re trying to inform library patrons on controversial issues, it’s a good idea to present a few of the most popular positions and arguments.

I work at a community college library. Many students write position papers or create argumentative presentations on controversial issues, especially public policy issues. In order to support them, the library purchases materials showing arguments on different sides of commonly debated issues.

I have strong opinions about many of these issues. But it’s not my place to advocate for those opinions while I’m working at the library. When I’m doing my job correctly, my political opinions are undetectable.
