A Colorado library district that fired a librarian after she objected to their decision to get rid of anti-racism and LGBTQ programming for teens will pay her $250,000.
ERIE, Colo — A Colorado library district that allegedly fired a librarian after she objected to their decision to get rid of anti-racism and LGBTQ programming for teens will pay her $250,000.
But that all began to unravel two years ago when Parks said the High Plains Library District Board of Trustees implemented a new programming policy that forced her to cancel two teen programs. “The intention of the programs [were] to create compassion among teens and in the community to build empathy and understanding,” said Parks.“I was written up at work and I responded to the written warning,” said Parks. “And when I turned that into them, they pulled me into the office the very next morning and said that my services were no longer needed.
In addition to paying Parks $250,000, the library district agreed to change its policies, including implementing a review process that gives librarians a voice in deciding which programs are offered.Parks says she still misses her old job.
