Dayton, #Ohio Metro Library removing pride flags, ‘cultural’ displays from public view.

Staff are permitted to have small flags as internal office decorations, “but it need not show to the public or the outside of the building,” the memo says

Library officials declined to comment about the changes to its policies. The Dayton Daily News obtained the memos through a public records request.

There is widespread speculation it is due to the threat of the Trump Admin gutting funding due to his recent DEIA executive orders, and concerns related to grant funding.

The library operates more than a dozen branches

I don't feel bowing down will help matters. Let funding dry up and services start getting affected, so the community feels the pain and blowback. Tell them why it is happening. Why their after-school programs are getting cancelled, etc. Capitulating just doesn't seem like the right way to respond. #USPol .
