When a Baptist preacher threatened to mount a protest march against certain topics -- astrology, tarot-card reading, but allegedly also the sessions on yoga and feng shui -- in the Pickens library summer reading program, they canceled the whole program. (The library says they had lots of emails and phone calls complaining about the programs in general, not just the tarot and astrology, and given the nature of how people respond to incitement, I'm not surprised that the complaints got wild.)

"Despite the cancellation, library system Public Services Manager Ann Szypulski said the finale pizza taste-off is still on the calendar.
'We’ll still have the pizza party,' Szypulski said. '(But) we don’t want to be put in the situation of trying to second guess at this point what they would approve and what they wouldn’t approve.'"

Sounds like what Jesus would have done as the librarian:
Matthew 5:40. "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also."
Luke 6:29. "Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either."

Can we buy the Baptists a "What would Dewey Do?" tshirt?
