### 1/5 — Why?

*2021-11-18*

Why would anyone want to subscribe to something like ‘StoryLabs’ when its founders advocate for the removal of books from libraries and schools that they find offensive? They would now like to see legislation labeling books in libraries as pornography. These are the same people screaming ‘freedom’ at mask mandates and vaccines. Forget it.
