In a shocking move, U.S. President Donald Trump has kicked out Librarian Carla Hayden, making her the latest casualty in a string of federal officials deemed unfit by the Trump administration. The White House released an email to Hayden, effective immediately, which was shared by Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich on Thursday in Washington.
The Library of Congress, with over 20 million cataloged pieces of literature, remains silent on the termination. The U.S. capital's Library of Congress, boasting the title of the world's largest library, has been under Hayden's leadership since 2016. Her term was set to end next year, but that's no longer the case.
Conservative critics had blasted Hayden for promoting "radical sexual ideologies" to U.S. children. Hours before her firing, the Trump-backed research group, American Accountability Foundation, labeled Hayden as overtly woke, anti-Trump, and a supporter of transgender ideologies that deny biological identity. "Fire her already! She's not the right one for the job!" the organization proclaimed.
Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries deemed Hayden's dismissal a "disgraceful action." Jeffries accused Trump of trying to censor literature, rewrite American history, and backtrack on progress.
