New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 118: Librarians Losing Their Spine, with Penny Hummel https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-118-librarians-losing-their-spine-with-penny-hummel/
Librarians once stood for intellectual freedom and access to information, but today many prefer to suppress speech for the sake of a misguided concept of “social justice”. One Davis, California library recently violated the First Amendment when they ejected a group of women discussing male athletes in female sports. Collections and programs are regularly distorted and compromised by ideologue librarians, while those watching in dismay fear to speak. Library consultant and advocate Penny Hummel breaks the silence to tell the Dorx what’s really happening in America’s libraries.
