and why aren't they ordering another, and barring him from checking a second one out, or revoking his card for admitting he's keeping the book out not to read, but to protest, time after time???

fucking retarded...


Conservatives have failed to remove several books they found objectionable from the shelves of Nampa, Idaho’s public library. Since November some parents have voiced concerns over The Joy of Sex, The Joy of Gay Sex, and other books available at the public library. Most of the more than 20 people who showed up to hear the library board’s decision on whether to remove the books or not were in support of pulling them, including Nampa Mayor Tom Dale and a spokesman for the city council. But the board members weren’t having any of it: In a three-to-one vote on Monday, they chose to keep the books on the shelves, offering what they called a compromise by deciding to place the books on the top shelf, out of the reach of children. They also urged continuous re-shelving walks through of the library, making sure the questionable books weren't lying around. Lorrie Bershears, a board member for the National Association of Social Workers, says the issue comes down censorship and parents keeping closer eye on their own children. (Sirius OutQ News)
