President Donald Trump ordered the termination of Library of Congress head Carla Hayden just one year before her ten-year term was ending.
Hayden has been serving in the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution since 2016, when she was nominated by former President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate.
The reason for Hayden's firing appears to be related to her pushing of “radical” leftist agendas, according to complaints from conservative organizations.
A tweet from the American Accountability Foundation claimed that "The current #LibrarianOfCongress Carla Hayden is woke, anti-Trump, and promotes trans-ing kids. It’s time to get her OUT and hire a new guy for the job!"
That tweet went out hours before Trump's decision to fire Hayden was announced on Thursday night, suggesting that the White House is working with conservative watchdogs to sniff out radical leftists at every level.
In further evidence that Hayden is an agent of the progressive agenda, her firing was greeted with outrage from Democrats who flew into a rage over Trump's decision to fire a seemingly unimportant federal official.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was one of the first to come out to blast Trump's decision as "unjust" and an attempt to "whitewash" American history.
Jeffries railed against Trump by saying, “Donald Trump’s unjust decision to fire Dr. Hayden in an email sent by a random political hack is a disgrace and the latest in his ongoing effort to ban books, whitewash American history and turn back the clock. The Library of Congress is the People’s Library. There will be accountability for this unprecedented assault on the American way of life sooner rather than later."
Jeffries claims that Trump's firing of Hayden is an "unprecedented assault" on Americans' way of life, implying that progressive ideas like transitioning children are as American as apple pie.
Other Democrats quickly came to Hayden's defense, further lending credence to the idea that Hayden is a leftist ideologue using her position to push horrible progressive ideas.
Hayden has vigorously opposed parental rights groups' efforts to remove books about sexual identity containing explicit sexual content targeted at young people from libraries.
In defending pornographic books being distributed to children, Hayden wrote, "A children's book, and that's so helpful. I've had parents that I even work with, it just makes such a difference when you can share a book with a young person."
Leftists have pushed explicit sexual material and books containing progressive propaganda disguised as "sexual identity" education for years, and it's long past time for them to face serious consequences.
Hayden clearly endorses these ideas and, as such, has no place in the federal government. The fact that Democrats are so angry about her firing further demonstrates that she was doing real damage and had to be rooted out.
