From the article:
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A Tennessee library board has voted to remove its top librarian after she refused to carry out an order to relocate more than 100 LGBTQ-themed books.
The Rutherford County Library Board voted 8-3 Monday night to fire library system director Luanne James.
The decision followed a dispute over moving the books from the children’s section to the adult section. Board members said the material promotes “gender confusion.”
James had pushed back on that directive, saying the move would violate First Amendment protections and go against her professional responsibility.
“I stand by my decision and I will not change my mind,” James said during the meeting.
After the vote, her attorney read a statement on her behalf calling the firing unlawful.
“Librarians should not be used as a filter for political agendas,” the statement said. “I stood up for the right to read, standing for the citizens of Rutherford County.”
