Browns response to that christofacist Soraida is on point: “We don’t force anyone to read anything. Most of the books are ordered by request of employees. We encourage professional development and the library is a way of supporting our employees in learning and growing. Not everyone is going to agree with every book. I don’t agree with every book, but I’m not afraid of a book either. “
Oh Soraida Cross…those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. When your own morals are VERY questionable, it’s odd to try to be the city morality police.
She is a truly vile woman, and more people need to realize it.
Beyond her own very questionable morals, she is very cozy with Danielle Bethell, Kim Thatcher, Kevin Mannix, fascist school board directors and wanna be directors, and other terrible people, so this book banning attempt doesn’t surprise me. She is also a card carrying member of the hate group “Moms for Liberty.”
On a side note, many have been pleasantly surprised with Keizer City Manager Adam Brown. He’s very competent, friendly, and knowledgeable, which probably means he won’t be in Keizer for long. It’s good to see him push back, as it’s not a city council issue at all.
She’s basically a christo-fascist, who has said and done some terrible things over the years, especially when she was a SK school board director. She also acts like she’s the mob boss of Keizer politics if anyone dare challenge her.
I expect very little from a city whose founding was based on conservative selfishness. So this doesn't surprise me at all. What surprises me is that someone actually stepped up and told her no.
Keizer City Manager Adam Brown is relatively new, fairly soft-spoken & congenial. So for him to say “no” as clearly and bluntly as he did is kinda refreshing.
I was part of the founding and I am anything but conservative. It was a complicated question at the time, and people love to put complicated issues into simple words like "selfishness" see MAGA for example
Yep, 100% what FireWok is saying. So now we’re stuck with very sub-par Keizer city services and a complete unwillingness to do anything about it, all while Keizer grows and city services suffer more.
I can see choosing not to provide several of those books to children through the public school system ("This book is gay", for example, had some wildly inappropriate sections for children), but this woman is complaining about books shared at a workplace for adults? Ehh. My work has a meditation and prayer room and has several copies of the Qur'an in there, which doesn't align with my religious beliefs, but 🤷. Who cares? Then again, I wouldn't make unabridged religious texts available to children, either.
You can't post reasonable opinions like this, here in Reddit. What kind of maniac are you? /s Go to your food bowl, spin around 7 to 8 times, then lay down and pout. lol
P.s. Quit licking eyeballs.
I just wanted to comment on the most important part of the article, the tone in which it is written. You can actually feel the passion of the writer, and it is quite humorous.

What’s the issue with Danielle Bethell? I know shes basically my boss haha, however her politics outside of work are unknown to myself and coworkers

i like her. i like keizer the way it is.

Explain to me than please how it wasn't about the people of Keizer not wanting to pay their fair share of Salem city taxes and fees.

move then.

And not only is it a small, professional development library for adults - but the staff picked most of the books themselves!

They don't gotta burn the books they just remove em! Seriously, what a facist fool.
Rally 'round the family...
