Librarian fired after refusing to censor 2SLGBTQ+ books wins $700K US settlement [View all]
Some good news.
Terri Lesley never expected to become a key figure in the heated debate about free speech and book bans that has embroiled libraries across the U.S. and Canada. And she certainly didn't expect to get fired.
Now, more than two years after she was removed from her position as library system director in Campbell County, Wyo., she has been awarded a $700,000 US ($976,710 Cdn) settlement in a lawsuit over her termination.
