I don’t understand! What book bans? If Lori is involved it must involve some unspeakable depravity. Lori doing the good work for the cities perverts.
Collect “banned” books and make them widely accessible. Maybe Chicago doesn’t have enough adult book stores?
Once again, it is good to see Lori focusing on the really pressing issues of the day. Just like with all the illegal aliens she is welcoming into the city, now she will be looking for federal funds to house all those incoming books.
