Two days after my column ("Porn in the Library") appeared on-line an anonymous person sent me an e-mail. He or she is probably a representative of an organization which is campaigning to protect children from sex offenders. Attached with the e-mail is a website: www.SafeLibraries.org.
The "headline" on the page says, "Are Children Safe in Public Libraries?" The sub-head says, "Children Are Not Safe in Public Libraries." And then a lot of issues about porn in the library are linked.
This is scary. I thought it was just a small thing.
Your article is here: Porn in the Library. Thank you for recommending people visit us to see for themselves.

ReplyDeleteSorry for deleting my previous message. Anyway, thank you. I am currently in the process of editing the draft of my next article. It is the continuation of my "Porn in the Library" article which I wrote for my column.
ReplyDeleteToday, May 12, I saw Maggie Brooks at a parade for the Lilac Festival here in Rochester. Of course she doesn't know me, or has the slightest intention to know me, I don't know.
She's running for re-election. That got me into thinking.
Hhhhmmmm . . . and a neverending hhhhmmm....
I believe Maggie Brooks just had a major success, and the library ALA acolytes are screaming censorship, as usual. For example, see ALA | American Libraries - Rochester Library Will Change Filtering Policy. It's funny how the librarians in that article complain Maggie Brooks is imposing her personal views on people when that is exactly what the ALA and like-minded librarians are doing to entire communities.
