My first thought in reading this story, I kid you not, is that I’m a little amazed a city government or law enforcement establishment actually did anything about an offense like this:
After a hearing last Friday and conversations with the city attorney, the employment of part-time Library Specialist Cameron Dequintez Williams was terminated on Wednesday.
He was charged with burning books from the library written by conservative authors.
Library officials said, “The city of Chattanooga Human Resources Department completed its investigation of an allegation that books were removed from the Chattanooga Public Library’s Main Branch on Dec.https://w.chattanoogan.com/photo.aspx?a=8&t=11, 2020.
“The investigation determined that part-time Library Specialist Cameron Williams violated city and Library policies by improperly removing items from the Library’s collections.”
As one wag remarked:
Now, it remains to be seen if the real reason was that the library board wants to do all of that themselves.
Bonus observation: Am I the only one thinking Lt. Governor Flanagan feels pretty good, having not only gotten away with having ideological mercenaries do her cultural cleansing for her, but having them in effect rewarded for their efforts?
I see a posh consulting job for Flanagan, if she ever leaves office.
The swamp runs deep and wide.
That library specialist isn’t a Nazi; just look at him.
Nazi’s don’t have phat weaves.
The explaination is right there in his professional title. He’s a specialist in the library, yo. If he can’t read a book; it don’t need to be in library. And since he can’t read beyond a grade 5 level (how you think he got the job in the first place?) most all them books gonna go, eventually.
He’s just using the Woke Dewy decimal system to sort chronologically; cracker last name; white; seen dat face on Fox.

Alrighty
He used his position as a public employee to destroy public property. To arbitrarily decide what the rest of should be allowed to read if we want to check out a book from the Chattanooga Public Library, whether it’s written by Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, or others anywhere on the political spectrum. I’d like to think the outcry would be held by a majority, but I’ve seen too many “ends justify the means” types in recent years to hold such rose-colored views. I’d like to excuse it as a generational thing, but the formerly counter-culture Boomers seem strangely quiet on censorship, whether it’s in a public library or on Twitter.
“After a hearing last Friday and conversations with the city attorney, the employment of part-time Library Specialist Cameron Dequintez Williams was terminated on Wednesday.”
A hearing, and a sit down with the CA?
No wonder he’s got that shit eating smile on his face. Hell, I’m laughing at them, too
Jeeze…I’m 2 for 2 this morning.
“To arbitrarily decide what the rest of should be allowed to read”
There wasn’t anything arbitrary about it.
Wasn’t anything arbitrary about his being given a “part time library specialist” job either.
Damn it Merg. It appears your mod bot has decided nuffin gets posted today.
I think your bot is woke
I think Library Specialist Cameron Williams deserved termination because he usurped the authority of the city of Chattanooga’s Library Board, it is their job to decide which books must be burned.
Definitely a Woke bot!
