In reply to the discussion: Alarm as Tennessee libraries shut down for Republican 'book purge' [View all]llmart
(17,189 posts)33. I had four different directors in the years I worked in public libraries.
Every last one of them would have backed me up. Not sure about all the board members. This was in a rather rural area but slowly becoming more of a suburb as more college educated white collar workers moved in. It was difficult to even get people to be on the board, so usually the ones who may have sided with this knew enough to ask the director what they thought should be done.

Definitely! I lived in Davidson County for 15 years; until the last redistricting in 2021 that district was very blue

Libraries should get militant and challenge these assholes to come and take them.

I can't decide which state sucks the most, Texas was bad 40 years ago but TN is giving them a run for the money...
