I think Rush’s idea of replacing some of the Liberals in schools, colleges, publishers and libraries (same root as Liberal) with Conservatives has a lot of good potential.
liberal, from Latin liber, meaning “free.”
library, from Latin liber, meaning “book.”
The nominative plural of liber (”free”) is liberi.
The nominative plural of liber (”book”) is libri.
etymonline.com doesn’t connect the two words.
