At least that's what I get from this scholarly article:

I originally read your title as too many white libertarians. Carry on

I'm glad you can deduce anything from this. It's been a long time since I've read any b.s. more incomprehensible than this.

Being a librarian requires a Master's of Library Science. And most of the upper echelon jobs require specialized training. It's not as easy a process to become say, an academic librarian at the university level, as one might think. "People of Color" tend to go the paraprofessional route.

Actually, both librarians and libertarians tend to have gender issues. Most librarians are female and most libertarians are male.

Looks like the same type of people that were complaining that the Braves didn't have enough African Americans on the baseball team. The reasoning? Because the percentage of AA's in the country did not match the % of AA's on the team. I never heard the complaint about basketball. You would think they would want more white guys on basketball teams to "more accurately reflect the population."

Oh, come on. This is pretty simple stuff:

quote:

whiteness as hegemonic practice is at work when a librarian of color is mistaken for a library assistant by white colleagues at a professional conference. Likewise, whiteness is at work when genderqueer librarians are forced to choose between binary gender groupings, neither of which apply to their identities, when using the restroom at work.

Of course! It's all about 'whiteness' as the source of all evil! Even in the 'exciting' world of libraries!

Pretty much . . . the author seems like another mad minority . . . and with a name like April Hathcock, you have to know she's got issues.

Actually, libraries are not doing well since everyone has a computer. So, they're starting to rent stuff. Like power tools. But the article in the NYT didn't say if you had to pay for the vacuum cleaner or just return it within 3 days.

She's not starving. And she's an attorney.

This is true. Having worked in this "profession," I can say that library and information science is essentially being reconditioned as "media brokerage."

They could do like New York and no longer require minimum level qualified teachers, they dropped their competency exam because basically, whites passed and non whites did not fair as well.

So we dumbed down our classrooms in the 60's and 70's an now we dumb down our teachers. Pretty soon the kids can just teach themselves, they'll know as much as anyone else
