“Our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist,” read the language the commission voted to send to the ALA.

Neat trick considering that said document predates and therefore has no concept of Marxism.

“We ought not promote, celebrate or support what scripture condemns,” said Dana Gonzalez, who was in favor of withdrawing, before quoting scriptures from the Bible

Of course the conservatives are bringing religion places where it shouldn't be.

Also, I don't even know how having a Marxist leading the free public library association makes any difference. Do they think the library should be more capitalistic? Sounds like a great way to make sure no one goes there.

These people wouldn’t know what actual Marxism was if a copy of Das Kapital hit them in the face.
