I sure all parents want their children and teenage daughters to be at public libraries where pedophiles and sex addicts are getting "charged up" viewing online porn.

They're more afraid of an ACLU lawsuit than they are afraid of angry parents. Hence the vote.

Ping - story from Sacramento, CA about apparent ALA/ACLU influence controlling public library decision makers to allow porn despite pleas of the community.
Ping List - want on or off? Let me know. Subject is libraries vis a vis the American Library Association's control of same.

"Sacramento Officials Refuse to Ban Online Porn in Libraries" Besides, it gives the officials a place to go to view porn so that it doesn't show up on their Government computers.

Just did, though it looks like defenders of the first amendment are losing. Giving the targeted nature of the site and the classic double speak in their about us page though it does not surprise me.

whew! good thing there's still porn in libraries, and just think, they wanted to ban it along it with such real monstrosities as smoking, trans-fats, and not using your indoors-library voice.

This is the difference between Georgia and California. Georgia runs the filters in our library and very little porn gets through. We have banned people for porn in our libraries.

Yes, I understand all libraries in Georgia are fully filtered and CIPA compliant. Further, a state CIPA was recently passed with zero dissenting votes, then signed into law. Despite what the ALA says, this is working just fine. Am I right?

My reply to people who feel they have a constitutional right to view porn in a public library is the same as my reply to those who play porn DVDs in public view in their cars -- keep it at home.
Everyone knows why people view porn -- it's to do research on sexuality, right? It's to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the human boday, right? It has nothing at all to do with getting revved up, right? Of course not. (/sarc) If people want to get revved up, they don't have to ask my permission. But they'd better damn well not do it in the public library in the presence of my kids. Or in my presence, for that matter.
It's interesting how what, not too many years ago, was relegated to use by the "raincoat crowd" in shadowy areas of cities, is now gussied up and has its place right there in the library alongside Shakespeare and the Bible and "Highlights for Children" and "Curious George."
Maybe it's just me -- but this is not exactly evidence of societal progress.

Speaking of the bay area....
San Francisco Bay Area, CA: "
Porn, Sex Crimes At Libraries; I-Team Investigation," KGO, 29 Nov 2006, "[T]he Martin Luther King Library has a problem with pornography. They have
no rule against viewing photographs or full-screen sex videos from Internet sites, even with children nearby. Chief librarian Jane Light says it's a matter of free speech. .... ABC7's Dan Noyes: 'I've seen the [privacy] screens and I see how they work and the stuff is visible from behind. You can see everything.' Jane Light...:
'So you can avert your eyes.' .... San Jose's police blotter over the past year lists
several arrests for child porn at the library, at least ten cases of child molestation or other sex crimes involving kids and several cases of men viewing porn and performing a lewd act, right at the terminal. .... Sgt. John Laws, San Jose library police: 'It showed him
sitting at the computer terminal and ... masturbating.' .... Marcia Stacke,
Child Quest International: 'You know, sometimes I wonder if we're just too afraid to be, I don't know, sued in this country. We've got to step out and protect our kids. Enough is enough.'"

Officials who oversee the Sacramento public library system rejected pleas from parents and students late last week to prohibit the viewing of online pornography in libraries. Meanwhile the IDIOTS in the Ca state gov want to outlaw spanking.

Doggone. That's the same way I feel about people who think they have a constitutional right to have their religious beliefs taught in public school science classes or their religion be a part of the government we all live under. Please, please keep it at church or at home. Thank you.
