Montana State Library Commissioner Tom Burnett on Thursday suggested that his organization formally separate from the American Library Association due to concerns about its president, self-proclaimed "Marxist lesbian" Emily Drabinski, the Daily Montanan reported.
"If we are reliant upon a private organization for critical services, that is subsidiary to our … obligations, and we should not be shy of dismissing them," Burnett said during the commission's meeting where he proposed the group send a letter to the ALA to withdraw its membership.
