A national free-speech organization is threatening the City of Orem with a lawsuit, accusing the city of censorship and violating the First Amendment.
“About a year ago last June, the Orem City Library pulled their Pride display in the children’s department after a request from a member of the Orem City Council,” said association president Patrick Hoecherl.
“It’s taking away an opportunity for people and for children to see themselves in the library when they walk into the building,” said Hoecherl. The letter went on to say that displays celebrating holidays like Columbus Day, Christmas, and the Fourth of July were allowed to continue.
