Perhaps you do not know anyone who works in a library. Go ask one. This has been the ethos for over 100 years in America.

Ancient Rome had libraries already, I'm pretty sure their "ethos" wasn't about inclusivity and safe spaces. Somewhere along the line from then to now, it got subverted.
Ancient Rome also had slavery.
In fact, I do. Maybe you are in a bubble, but go ahead and try to get people to vote for public funding of "safe spaces" and then have them vote for public funding of "convenient access to media for taxpayers", and see which proposition gets the most votes. You will be surprised, and then you will accuse America of being a fascist country, when the actual ethos of people are revealed.

it was formalized in the 60's but there was a precedent going back AT LEAST to the wild west.
