The hijacking of American professional associations is now the norm. Take the American Library Association whose recommendations are followed by school libraries. School libraries are the center of controversies right now over the presence of books that are clearly pornography.
Most people think the ALA applies neutral standards of literary merit to its recommendations. But the ALA is led by a far-left cadre that exercises influence nationwide far beyond its size.
The ALA claims 54,000 members. However, most don’t participate in elections that affect the direction of the organization. It recently held an election for president and a little more than 5000 members, opposed by a little over 4000 members chose a president who describes herself as a “Marxist lesbian.” She is well represented on social media advocating the “queering” of the library. What does that mean? I think we know and it is evident in the books they recommend that school libraries buy.
Why doesn’t the “silent majority” of association members revolt?
ALA also holds that the right of homeless men to view pornography videos is more important that the right of librarians and library public safety officers to have to see videos of women being raped and tortured in their workplace. So while sexual harassment laws at least in theory protect women from co-workers who would expose them to violent porn in the workplace, librarians have to put up with it. (Based on complaints by library workers and subsequent research a few years ago - may have changed since then, but I doubt it.

Yep. And that happened like 40 years ago.
40 years ago they were whackadoos.
They still are. We have just mainstreamed whackadooism. Which is why so many have that down the rabbit it hole feeling.
