Trump fires the head of the Congress Library, Carla Hayden

President Donald Trump released the librarian of the congress, Carla Hayden, by e -mail, a step that immediately took a sharp conviction of her followers.

“President Trump's ignorant decision will have an impact on the American libraries, our copyrighted economic interests and the service to the American people by threatening the support for the congress,” Rep. Joe Morelle, a New York democrat, shortly after Hayden was released in the social media at the end of May.

Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markay, a democrat: “Donald Trump has just released my dear friend Dr. Carla Hayden – the librarian of the congress. This is shameful. The congress library represents some of the best America that has to offer America. Learn for everyone.”

Hayden was nominated in 2016 by the then President Barack Obama to her position and confirmed by the Senate a year later. She was the first woman and the first black American to head the nation's official library, who, as the world's largest library records, preserves millions of books, films, photos and manuscripts. It is also the home of the US copyright.

Hayden appeared in front of a congress committee at the beginning of the week and issues of a library moderation project, the costs of which rose, while the final periods were repeatedly delayed.

Hayden is a professional librarian who met Obama for the first time when she worked in the Chicago Public Library. She had headed the “of the People” initiative to bring more works by black, indigenous, Hispanic or Latin American, Asian American and Pacific islanders and other color communities to the library collections.

Trump has repeatedly targeted programs and people, from which he holds that diversity, justice and inclusion do not properly promote. The White House did not immediately give an explanation or comment on Hayden's release.

Critics of Trump's decision have lambust both the shooting itself and the way it was carried out: by e -mail, which was sent to Hayden at 6:56 p.m.

“While President Trump ban books and tell the Americans what to read or not read at all, Dr. Hayden has dedicated her career to reading and pursuing knowledge for everyone,” said New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich, Democrat.
