[Publib] Censorship: Bentonville, Arkansas

[Kathleen McCorkle]

Lets be practical, teen age boys are just doing what they 
have always done.  When my two oldest boys were teens 
and I was doing some cleaning, I found a girlie mag
under their bed, of course back then all that was bare was the top
half.  They both claimed it belonged to the other
and I laughed it off and told them it was not a very
good hiding place.  I realize nowadays there is much more to see
and learn about, but I don't think teen boys are any less 
curious than mine were 35 years ago.  What safer place
than in the public library to learn about things.

  I hate the idea of censorship. But I think the man's sons were lying to him. Wouldn't military schools be in the 300s and the Lesbian Sex Book be in the 600s?

  Unless it's a very tiny library, how do you browse the 300s and end up in the 600s? Any good attorney (with a library background) would point that out in the event of a lawsuit.
