I wrote recently about Amanda Jones, the librarian in Louisiana who is fighting back against censorship and harassment in court.
One of our regular readers said she belongs on the honor roll of this blog. He’s right.
Amanda Jones joins the honor roll for her courage and integrity in fighting censorship!
Her GoFundMe page is raising money for her legal defense. Consider helping her fight for free thought!

A libertarian librarian. Not THAT’S an oxymoron!
She really is something special. To have that much backbone in Denham Springs requires a very self-assured person.
