One of the reasons I like to use ‘credentialed media’ sources is so that no one can complain that my sources are evil reich-wing blogs and can’t be trusted. From the ABC News station, Channel 9 in Chattanooga:
Update: Chattanooga Library fires worker who burned library books by conservative authors
by WTVC / Associated Press Sunday | December 6th 2020 | Updated: February 11, 2021“The City of Chattanooga has policies in place to protect the public’s interest, and we follow those directives,” said Library Executive Director Corinne Hill.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — UPDATE (February 11th, 2021):
The Chattanooga Public Library announced in an email that Cameron Williams was fired on Wednesday for burning library books.
The email says this came after a February 5th hearing on the matter and after conversations with the City of Chattanooga Attorney.
The release says the investigation wrapped up on December 1st, and determined that Williams “violated City and Library policies by improperly removing items from the Library’s collections.”
Williams admits he burned the books, but claims he did nothing wrong, saying that the books were already set to be removed and that officials told him he could take them.
He says he and his attorney plan to appeal the library’s decision to fire him. See Isaiah Kim-Martinez’s update here.
Black Lives Matter activist Cameron Williams
Let me be clear here: I would never hire, for any position involving public contact, anyone who looked like that. Nor would I ever hire anyone with any connection to #BlackLivesMatter. If someone cannot have decent, respectable grooming habits, nope, he doesn’t get hired. And having anyone on your payroll who you know is involved with attempting to defund or harm the police, who has a basically racist attitude — racist from any direction! — is something you do not want. It’s like hiring someone with any sort of “social justice” degree, such as Women’s and Gender Studies; such people are walking, talking discrimination lawsuits waiting to happen. You take their résumés, interview them if you must, and then quietly choose another candidate.
The only thing that surprises me is that Mr Williams was actually fired. I would have guessed that, in this time of the left trying to censor anything by conservatives, the library would have given him an award!
An award? I’m surprised they didn’t furnish him with gasoline.
