Carla Hayden is unfit for the post to which she was nominated. She promised to guide libraries on following E-Rate law. Instead, she recommended skirting the law (by advising libraries to allow adults to unfilter computers for themselves) while advising libraries to get their own attorneys. As a result, some libraries have been skirting the law as the ALA recommends. Some libraries go further than the ALA recommends, like the Brownsville Public Library which illegally obtains E-Rate funding for Internet access but does not filter "adult" computers. The result is libraries nationwide continue to endanger children by the very means the E-Rate law was designed to curtail and the US Supreme Court approved. And it can legitimately be laid at the feet of Carla Hayden.
Carla Hayden must not be confirmed to an administration post having control over libraries nationwide, unless the anything-goes Chicago Public Library is your model library, and unless advising people to skirt a law that protects children is your own goal. Given that a publisher that published information on how to commit crimes was held liable for the crimes committed thereby, Carla Hayden may similarly be held liable for E-Rate fraud in some future case.

This is what the headline should've said.
Precisely.
It would only be newsworthy if he appointed someone qualified, not insane & who doesn’t hate America
As opposed to say, Leon Panetta, because a career kissing butts in politics is exactly what one would need to run the Central Intelligence Agency...
