There have been other recent Israel-bashing fiestas that limitations of space prevent me from mentioning, at least at this point. By the time this article appears in print, a public library in the Midwest probably will have hosted an especially big and nasty one.
More articles about the bias so shockingly prevalent among librarians will be forthcoming, in this and other venues, by people both inside and outside the system who are fed up with the anti-U.S., anti-Israel slant that has become part of the very culture of the nation’s libraries.
And some class-action taxpayer lawsuits may be in order to hold municipalities, state governments, administrators, boards and trustees accountable when those who work in our public, academic and school libraries decide that partisanship is more important than the professional obligation to be fair.
