Funny and sad at the same time: The story is NOT about auto-erotica

The guy single-handedly threw out Oklahoma's internet/library/public school porn laws which allowed children full access to XXX material. He did so without one citation of US or Oklahoma law granting him that power.

The guy is a very powerful politician/judge and was defiant to the end. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't arrogantly appeal to the US Supreme Court.

The ALA should be tossed too if that is how you feel (and I don't disagree with your perspective).

The ALA has made it crystal clear that they do not believe in a concept of "age apropriate material" (video, books, magazines, etc.). If it is in the library, all patrons should be able to access it. Except they also won't prohibit "mature" items from being stocked either.

Now it is criminal to sell or give Playboy to a minor yet the case could be made to have an archive of old issues of Playboy for the interviews (or even for studying sexism, etc.). Same way with R, NC-17, and "unrated" movies.

The librarian response is "you adjust your kid's account to prohibit videos". Except that does not tackle all materials. And would only account for materials removed from the library.

The ALA has also aided kids in learning how to circumvent web-locking software.
