The ALA recently solicited comments on a revision to the ALA Code of Ethics's 9th principle.
I added some comments to this document.
The comments were full of vile racist comments and they rejected my input.
This kind of treatment happens to BIPOC all the time when asked to participate in library work in general.
The white gatekeepers make sure we can't create change.
Here is another example of how my suggestions were rejected.
Here I added, "anti-oppression actions..."
If the ALA really wants input from BIPOC librarians--they should be much more respectful and not allow racist trolling on their documents.
