Thank you for shining a light on the situation. I am definitely not through advocating for our marginalized students... I will have much more levity as a member of the public to effect positive change for our marginalized students. You'll hear more in the coming times. :-)

I reported it to moderators and the moderator pmed me to tell me to contact him and not to report things. He then asked me what rules I thought the post violated. Then he argued with me that I should put my thoughts in the comments. Which I specifically said that it is not an effective way to debate this issue. But also I didn’t want to end up a target. I told him this sort of rhetoric has caused violence against librarians and defunding and eventual closure of public libraries in other places. He just wanted to “protect free speech” and kept telling me I should warn others about this. I told him it was his job as moderator to do the warnings and not give libel and violent rhetoric a platform. He tried thanking me for my service and I told him that if he wanted to thank me to be better.

At any rate, this is what I’m living. Plus another big snowstorm has hit the area.

I do not blame her for stepping down, though it is a travesty. No one wants to be the target of these villains.
