Patsy Montesinos writes: “Rutherford County (Tenn.) Library Board voted in an 8–3 decision to fire library director Luanne James March 30. The controversy began when James refused to comply with a board order to relocate 132 children’s books to the adult section of the library. Public records showed that ahead of the March 30 meeting, the board worked to hire a new attorney. Internal emails showed some board members raised concerns about legal risks as the situation escalated.”
