VICTORY! After bullies tried to unconstitutionally shut down discussion on sex differences in sports at @TewksburyLib, the event was uncanceled thanks to fast action by local citizens and WoLF Sisters! 🎉

On this episode of the @CDNConstFound podcast, hosts @JoshDehaas, @jobearon, and @cvangeyn discuss the firing of Ontario librarian and member of FAIR Libraries, Cathy Simpson, "whose apparent crime was trying to diversify the collection."

Cathy's termination for advocating library neutrality and defending intellectual freedom represents a concerning development in the ongoing debate over censorship and free expression. It underscores the need for vigilant support of those who dare to speak out for the principles of true diversity of thought and the free exchange of ideas.

Wow! So thrilled to see Cathy Simpson's story getting the attention it deserves!
No one should ever lose their job for advocating the principles of an organization that is committed to eliminating discrimination in *all* forms.
Let's be clear: @fairforall_org is not "right wing," and we reject the nonsensical, knee-jerk assumption that anyone who challenges DEI is racist. It's not only divisive, but it's insulting to people of color who believe DEI undermines our efforts to achieve true racial and class equality.
"As for @fairforall_org, Harris said the group is only trying to honour the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King.
“He dreamed of a world in which everyone was treated equally and that’s all we at FAIR are advocating,” Harris said.
“We are against discrimination in any form, but somehow, that is seen as enabling systemic racism and is a right-wing talking point.” #Freespeech #DEI #RACE #racism
