Who Needs Books Anyway?

Lessons learned from this video:

1) Mega sports centers good (especially ones that perpetually operate on subsidies and therefore continue to be a drain on the financial viability of a small town)

2) Libraries bad (especially ones with books containing words in them that we don't like)

And we are supposed to be believe she is a fiscal conservative??? Just imagine this type of decision making carried out on a national level.

I am not against a sports center if it is an economically intelligent idea to pursue. Especially in a small town with few other opportunities for generating revenue (so we can afford that library). But I'd love to see the business plan which suggested that this was going to be a profitable endeavor. While I value sports in society if I had to choose between a publicly funded play area and a publicly funded library and it was my job to promote the well-being of my community, I would error on the side of education.
