[Michlib-l] ICYMI: New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics

[Karyn Ruley]

Hello,

  I would like to remind everyone that the ALA has no authority over any
library whatsoever. Just because they are moving to make libraries places of
leftist activism, pushing ideologies stemming from Marxism and critical race
theory, does not mean you have to as well.

  Start speaking up and having more courage about this. The parents in schools
can do it. Where do you think the kids go AFTER school?

Hi, all --

Announced a few days ago
<https://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2021/07/ala-adopts-new-code-ethics-principle-racial-and-social-justice>,
ALA has added a 9th principle to the ALA Code of Ethics
<https://www.ala.org/tools/ethics>, reading:

We affirm the inherent dignity and rights of every person. We work to
recognize and dismantle systemic and individual biases; to confront
inequity and oppression; to enhance diversity and inclusion; and to advance
racial and social justice in our libraries, communities, profession, and
associations through awareness, advocacy, education, collaboration,
services, and allocation of resources and spaces.
