<h3>February 2 at 1pm EST</h3>
<p><strong>Based on the article: <a rel="noopener"
href="https://www.everylibrary.org/r?u=-ld2h2Ly2BPA3AElUgR6_GH05mjgcU8eeR8RsN8W68Sg51bkTyYL0JW3qzj1C2cmtGaxp4K7RliWldBFnhdMNQ&e=45b11755e560e4717deece423d0c3307&utm_source=votelibraries&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=you_work_for_the_public&n=3"
target="_blank">You Work for the Public; Your Thoughts Aren’t
Sacred</a></strong></p>
<p>Too often, anti‑DEI arguments claim that librarians and public
workers deserve a special sphere of protected “thought privacy,” where
belief can be separated from professional obligation, and that equity
efforts violate it.<strong><span> </span>Dr. John Mack
Freeman</strong>, Assistant Dean for Interdisciplinary Initiatives and
Director of the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons at the Georgia
Tech Library, challenges this premise head‑on in his new Political
Librarian article, arguing that librarians are public servants whose
responsibilities extend beyond personal ideology.</p>
<p>Drawing on legal history, workplace ethics, and years of
professional experience, Freeman rejects the idea that DEI initiatives
are coercive or censorious. Instead, he shows how accountability,
transparency, and equitable labor practices are central to public
trust and public funding. This session will help attendees understand
how “neutrality” and intellectual distance arguments are being used as
political tools, and what a professional, ethical, and democratic
response looks like.</p>
