Audio and summary
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Of course it was a total stunt. Alexi blamed the “Proud Boys” for the book bans. The Proud Boys are the left’s boogieman for any rightwing issue they don’t like.
And don’t forget the irony that the proud boys were thoroughly infiltrated by the feds. The top guys were federal informants. The entire thing is a self-licking ice cream cone of authoritarianism and agitprop.

“I listened to the president of the ALA at a conference in March. Thought we would talk about books. She told us 1) how to weaponize our local libraries to force our communities to accept the trans agenda 2) that the Dewey Decimal System was a racist tool of Colonial oppression.”
What would Leftists be without hyperbole?
