"I don't end up in my city's public library often because it was moved and its teen lit section currently consists of three narrow bookshelves. However, the last time I was there a really old guy was sitting at a public computer looking at…"

William Harmer replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"Government has only the obligation to protect our natural rights. If the government has the right to take away your right to read freely, it has taken away effectively your right to think freely, for you to speak freely, and for you to communicate…"

Eystein, replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"Shouldn't these libraries, with their limited budgets, be able to decide for themselves how best to use these funds to accommodate the actual desires of their users, instead of being forced to comply with what a small board think people ought…"
Tom Steinbrecher replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"What if this is a battle I've picked?
Books are something I care about and am not afraid to write politicians and stand up for books I believe in.

Latch33570 replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"Nobody is suppressing it. You can purchase things yourself. Public libraries are paid for by our tax money therefore it is subject to the whims of politics. The librarians bosses (politicians) aren't going to waste their valuable…"

Maxwell Waters replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"The miracle of human consciousness is arguably the greatest gift (God/nature) gave us, and we have no right to suppress its expression, especially in a nation founded upon the ideals of liberty for all, not liberty for all unless they publish books…"
Latch33570 replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"No it isn't federal. It is local governments and local school districts.The only thing the feds can ban is classified stuff and certain technology that would endanger life such as certain rocket technology. We don't want some Sadam wanna…"
Eystein, replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"What is the nature of these bans? It isn't federal right? It's more like individual school boards deciding which material is prudent and what is not? Are there any school districts where books on evolution are banned?"
Rem replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"It's mostly a matter of how you deem something appropriate. You can say that pornography or how-to guides for arson are inappropriate for a public library, and I would personally agree with you, but when it comes down to it it's difficult…"
Latch33570 replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"Even if it is donated the building and librarian's time is worth money. also some things are appropriate and some are not. We, as a society have the right to pass laws to enforce those social norms. It isn't banning the books from…"
Tom Steinbrecher replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"This isn't "We can't afford to carry this book" This is BANNING IT.
Even if the book gets donated it's not library worthy.
It's awful smut and no one should see it.
We are not saying "We don't happen to…"
Latch33570 replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"ABREO I am a little confused. Are you saying that computers and google pretty much makes the knowledge available to everybody and therefore we shouldn't ban the books? If that is so then I say I disagree. Sure you can learn enough of the…"
Abreo replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"Honestly you can make an argument about why you wouldn't want to spend your tax money on a public center that hosts any book. That's what invalidates it. I don't want to spend my tax money so people can read any religious text or…"
Latch33570 replied to Crystal Tubbs's discussion Banned Books"OK I will explain WHY some books should be excluded from PUBLIC libraries. There is some info that you don't want to get into the hands of the wrong people especially on MY tax money. Just because something is printed doesn't mean it is…"
