The president of the American Library Association (ALA) has doubled down on her Marxist views, over which Republican lawmakers are urging libraries in their state to withdraw from the national federation.
Emily Drabinski, a 48-year-old self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian,” was elected to lead the ALA in July. She assumed her post at the Chicago-headquartered organization at a time when librarians and libraries face increasing criticism for their radical sex and gender activism, such as recommending LGBT-themed books for children and organizing events for drag performers to read stories to children.
