![]() ![]() I fully support the Macon County Public Library and the staff. So even more than the fervent passion I have to speak loud for those who traditionally have been silenced - I also have a tad bit of education in the area. I studied books and writings and all things literature and that is where my passion lies. While you all know me through the Southern Scoop and my reporting, my background is actually in English Literature, yes, one of this silly Liberal Arts Degrees. ![]() The right and left, black and white and exhausting division is so incredibly toxic and mentally damaging - for everyone. So again - I was “right” enough to hire, but too “left” to stay employed. However, the fact of the matter is personally I have lost a Republican Federal job because of my public support of the library. As you can tell, comments on the Facebook post of this article have also been turned off, because enough is enough.įirst, I, along with the Southern Scoop have been accused of only pushing “pro-LGTBQ” information to “push my agenda” and at the same time I have been told that people were unsubscribing to the Southern Scoop because I was “picking on the library” and “going all in for the GOP.” The fact that I can equally anger both sides - seems like a win for me. This is my peace on it and from here on out, comments on future reports of what the county does or doesn’t do will be turned off. This week there has been constant back and forth - including both constructive discourse and a sharing of ideas, beliefs, perspectives and of belittling, degrading, and bickering surrounding the local public library system, the books in the library, and who or what should or shouldn’t be raising our children or how and how not our tax dollars should be spent. ![]()
