Shame on the library for hosting this.

Libraries as public institutions are subject to the First Amendment.

Yes, and I get that. But this isn’t just like normal political speech so every side should get access. This is people who do blatant hate speech and the library should not give a forum for that.

We don't have the ability to refuse Kirk Cameron use of the space so long as he abides by library rules. So long as he is just doing a public reading from his book and doesn't start to actively proselytize while on the building campus our hands are tied.

Lucky for me I don't work at Cleveland Park and as such won't have to deal with this awful meeting, but I feel for the staff who do.

They’re not hosting it. The publisher reserved a room
