The Blight That Is The SRRT

Librarian bloggers are writing, with increasing frequency, about the tyranny of the American Library Association's so-called Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT), and the very real harm that it does. Given the firm hold that the SRRT has over ALA policies, those of us who oppose it are fighting an uphill battle. Consequently, we need to increase our protests. In that regard, I love what the wonderful and witty Annoyed Librarian wrote in her blog yesterday: "The SRRT has always been illiberal, because the SRRT folk don't really want to give people the means to choose their own ends; no, the SRRT folk want to choose everyone's ends themselves. Their notion of 'social responsibility' consists of forcing their illiberal, confused, progressivistical politics on everyone else."
