Took it out of their centenary exhibition because the staff LGBT+ network kicked up a fuss. Craven. This really needs massive public challenge and push back - if the National Library isn't able to fend off the censors we are utterly lost. https://x.com/EthelWrites/status/1955390550494023958

That is a very clear letter that really must make the decision makers cringe. I wonder if it was only the National Librarian ultimately who took the decision or if it was a board.

Not sure I have grasped the story if full but seriously when is this madness going to end.

It is the National Library of Scotland. And I am sure many in Scotland have different ideas etc., about Scotland.

Are any of them throwing hissy fits because a book is included that has opinions they dont like?

Of all places you shouldn't be working is a library if you dont believe in the right to express opinions and ideas, let alone biological fact.

Their irrational ideas that they set the rules has got to be challenged and ignored.

Unbelievable. The LGBT group threatened to tell sponsors in a fit of spite, to potentially cause detriment to their own employer.

And instead of the employer starting disciplinary proceedings against these disloyal and insubordinate staff, they caved in and bowed to their demands.

What the fuck is going on? I can’t think of a single employer I have worked for who would have accepted that kind of behaviour from an employee. Said employee would have very likely been swiftly out on their ear.

That letter is brilliant. You'd be so ashamed to be the recipient wouldn't you. It's scary this is still happening.
