You could have gone a lot further with regard to libraries. Libraries have been taken over by the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion crowd. I had a regional manager for the King County Library system outside Seattle proudly tell me as I discussed for the countless time the behavior at the homeless shelter, er, I mean the library, that the entire graduate curriculum for librarians is now geared toward social change. Also, last summer in the Kirkland branch of the same library system the staff found a way to essentially steal an extra day off related to "Juneteenth," turning it into an entire weekend under, at best, spurious justifications. There is a homeless lady at the library who has lived there for years. She sleeps, or whatever, outside the library at night and then moves a lot of stuff inside during the day and sleeps right in the middle of the library. Other homeless people get in fights. Frankly, forgoing the late fees is one of the more benign issues with libraries these days, although I agree it is a real one too. Libraries do not even really look at themselves anymore as being libraries, except in name. They look at themselves as community centers with a social justice agenda.
