I agree the blow up doll is in bad taste, but not everything in bad taste needs to be prohibited. First Amendment rights of free expression are more valuable than someone else not being offended.

I don't really think that a blow up doll is something to get all worked up about. The physical attributes of a blow up doll are not nearly as well done as those of a Barbie Doll. Barbie dolls are widely available and the clothes come off. I bet Withers has never seen a nude Barbie doll and they are in schools and children's bedrooms all over America. Don't tell him. I wonder if Withers has ever seen a nude mannequin? They are more realistic looking than a blow up doll. I wonder if Withers thinks we ought to put skirts on table legs? A blow up doll is not titillating. These almost life size dolls are sometimes called "sex dolls," but I doubt anyone actually has sex with them. I think they are more of gag novelty items than a sex toy.
Anyway, Councilman Withers' blowing out of proportion the display of a blow up doll has generated a lot of criticism of Withers on social media. Here is what the website EastNashville.news had to say:

No one expected they would be attached to a blow-up sex doll, though. That’s exactly what happened on Friday. You would think a councilman charged with a DUI, who has a life partner that was charged with growing marijuana with 1,000 ft of a school, would be just a little more laid back and chill about a set of fake boobs in a window.
