The e-mail said "...the confidentiality of circulation records and other records is covered by our Department Instruction and is based on the Public Records Act of the State of California."

Hell hath no fury like a librarian collecting overdue fines. Terrorists beware.

I hate to comment on something on when I don't have the documentation or reference to back it up. However, I recall hearing, I think on one of the cable news networks, that a library known to be used by the hijackers was contacted by the FBI who wanted to examine the computers used by patrons for evidence. The library refused to allow the FBI access and demanded that they obtain a search warrant first.
Do you know anything about this? IMHO, this would be akin to a police investigator being asked for a search warrant before being allowed access to the security video tapes after a bank robbery! Sheesh! This is OUR country that the crime was committed against. Just unbelievable. I guess that those planes will have to come smashing into everyone's lives before the reality of this hits home. It simply looked too much like a movie to the vast majority of sheeple out there. They not only do not "get it," but the P.C. cr*p of the past decade has totally fried their brains.

I once lived in Naples, FL, and hope to retire there one day. I know the area is home to many, many American veterans who must be weeping over this. I just sent off an email to Ms. Elliott, the writer, thanking her for the good article and suggesting that it might motivate us to reconsider what the PC crowd is doing to our country.
I see that the president of the university has censured this action and hope he fires the idiotic librarian. Knowing the people of Naples and surrounding area, he'll be forced to do so.

One employee made a terrible mistake, which I find to be reprehensible.Let's see if he finds it "reprehensible" enough to fire this idiot and set an example for their stupidity!
Here's a bunch of emails from that list, so you can send one message to them all at once.

America's libraries have emerged in recent years as one of the most perniciously leftist orgganizations in the country. From the American Library Association's tolerance of all things sexual for young people to this PC c**p the libraries are pushing now, it all makes my blood boil. I was chastised by a librarian in a small town library for daring to check out Atlas Shrugged. Once a big library booster, I no longer support them.

"The library and the whole campus are incredibly sensitive," Provost Brad Bartel said. "As you enter into the library, the first thing you see is a TV monitor with a slide show on the tragedy."
Bartel said Hoeth preferred for her faculty and staff members to wear ribbons or flags without any printed statements on them. "The reason is twofold," Bartel said. "We do have foreign students working in the library, and we have about 200 international students on campus here. When they come in for help, in a way (those stickers) show a statement that could be considered divisive."
Hoeth and Bartel. Two more disgusting scumbags who must lose their jobs.
Please, somebody at this pathetic "university".... sue!

Exactly, we are suppose to throw everything down for the sake of tolerance, PC, and sensitivity. Well I am tired of not being tolerated, and of liberals not being sensitive to my culture. Majority bias is just as bad, if not worse, than minority bias.
To: Lancey Howard
Okay. University President Bill Merwin has forcefully addressed the idiocy of his librarian and provost, and my hat is off to him. I will be interested to see the follow-up.
To: Lucas McCain
Even though there is a great deal of competition, librarians and library sciences departments are the biggest bastions of leftists and out-and-out communists in academia. If you go to a librarian's conference expect to see many displays of virulent anti-Americanism. I used to say that Albania and library science depts. were the last bastions of Stalinism in the world, but then Albania changed.
To: JohnFL
Just called down there to the Office of The President, Bill Merwin and spoke to his beleaguered secretary Mary, who was incredibly grateful to receive support for his statement. (Post #10 above) You could hear in her voice that it has been sheer hell. Perhaps a few more would like to let them know that his prompt action is appreciated. 1-888-889-1095 (toll free number)

I have scanned the entire thread and I see no one has picked up on this juicy morsel:
"There are clear First Amendment issues here," said Randall Marshall, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, headquartered in Miami. "The problem is that employees don't give up their constitutional rights merely because they're in their work place. There is a balance to be struck here between the right of individuals to express themselves and the orderly operation of the public employer's business."
THE ACLU!!!! doing something to SUPPORT America... Somebody mark the calendar this is indeed a "special" day.
