I have a feeling that some current First Amendment supporters might change their tune if a librarian started stocking the shelves with The Turner Diaries, White Supremacist magazines, and Christian Identity works.
All libraries practice censorship, in the sense that not every published item can be stocked, and somebody has to decide what to stock and what not to stock. The real question is who gets to make those decisions.

They totally control the library association. Picking and choosing a collection of materials in library is supposed to be based on some principal and public health would be one. Serving up porn to kids is not exactly healthy and the parents know best and they should be respected about that. If a parent wants to dish porn to their kids, do it on their own dime and don’t bother the whole community with the problem.
Not me.

It’s funny how folks keep mentioning Turner Diaries.
