       One of the right wing's goals is to destroy public institutions of all kinds -- not just schools but also libraries, transit, and pretty much anything that can be "privatized" (a BS word that means sold off to financial profiteers who will gouge the public and degrade vital services. In Huntsville, Texas, they've done it to the library. https://bookriot.com/huntsville-public-library-privatization/

       @Hyolobrika @dangillmor with libraries it's especially questionable, given that Carnegie gave the money for over 2500 libraries.

       @lain @dangillmor But "funded by generous rich donors" =/= "run as a for-profit entity"

       @perlman @dangillmor The only source I can find is them shutting down libraries. Not the same thing at all.

       @perlman @qualityhammer @dangillmor There's no need to do that. Mistakes are what make us human.Also, it breaks threads.
