They got fired for refusing to pull the books and you think their boss (who is parroting right wing shit about protecting the children) is going to let them repeatedly bring up that they shouldn’t have been removed? You are writing fanfic.
Headline says they quit, weren't fired. Article says one was "sent home."
While the headline says they all quit, in the story an employee says they were sent home with what is pretty obviously a threat to comply or get fired:
This is arguably constructive dismissal, which does count as termination on the part of the employer. It would have to go to court to say for sure, but it’s not something I would fuck around with if I was employing people.
