9. This is a public LIBRARY. How about they wreck all the Carnegie Libraries across the USA?

There’s even one in my town. Come on over with yer cans of red paint, because Andrew Carnegie was an old Robber Baron. Yee haw, we can’t have people readin’ books paid for by the likes of him.

Libraries all over this country are under attack. Are you in favor of that? Because the far-right people doing it are “sincere” in their beliefs that libraries are dangerous — does that make it okay?

So you, RainWalker, should start thinking logically. You either support public libraries — or you don’t.

Carnegie funded the building of 2,509 "Carnegie Libraries" worldwide between 1883 and 1929. Of those, 1,795 were in the United States: 1,687 public libraries and 108 academic. Others were built throughout Europe, South Africa, Barbados, Australia, and New Zealand.. https://dp.la/exhibitions/history-us-public-libraries/carnegie-libraries#
