Are there opposing views to voting rights history in the United States? According to some Board members of the Lafayette Parish Library in Louisiana, there are, and by not presenting opposing sides, the library isn’t serving its patrons well.
Teresa Elberson, a long-time employee of the Lafayette Parish library and current system director, stepped down from her post suddenly on Friday, January 29, following a clash with the library board. Members of the board believed that speakers she’d lined up to discuss a history of voting rights with her community were too “far left” and did not represent the community at large.
