The American Library Association elects a "lesbian, Marxist, progressive” as its president, and the Taos Tatler has thoughts

emily’s List: drabinsky does story time
“Directly being elected to her new job, Ms Drabinsky tweeted this joyous and ebullient message”.
I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of @ALALibrary. I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity! And my mom is SO PROUD I love you mom.
The response from her fellows was gratifying:
“Congratulations Emily, we’re thrilled to have a comrade as president-elect of the American Library Association!”
And the Tatler adds this caution:
Parents should keep the election of Comrade Drabinksy in mind when taking their children to their local library, especially the children’s department, less for the god-awful titles being added to the shelves–they’re easy enough to ignore–rather, and far more important, the titles being removed.
