The Bizzare
March 27th, 2008In Lindsey, CA a library worker noticed a man surfing on the internet viewing child pornography. She does what any person with sense might do, she alerts the police. The man is arrested and taken into custody. The little farm town was shocked to find out someone was using the library computers to view this kind of content but was even further shocked when two days later, the library worker is fired.

I must say Im a bit bothered by this story. This single mother of two was not only doing her job, but doing the right thing, and it appears shes being let go for it. What amazes me even further is this isnt some story in China or even a two bit Eastern European country. Its the United States, its California for crying out loud. The fortunate thing is the community is coming to her aide and I would imagine and hope this woman will be well taken care of.
Just thought this was worth drawing attention to.
Unfort, this is a right wing political issue that has nothing to do with child porn. It is clear that she was fired for reasons for other issues, but the library cannot respond due to privacy laws. In fact, I am quite shocked that the media would even pick this story up…
It’s quite a slap to the taxpayers of that county to “reward” an individual with taxpayer money for a good deed.. when in fact she is prob incompetent at what she was hired to do.

According to the article, she was fired for slipping work performance, however she had weeks earlier received a solid performance review. The issue here is that she went against the grain and was fired for it, even though it was the right thing to do.
