ALA Interests and Activities
The library will not even enforce MPAA ratings when it comes to access for minors. My public library includes some X rated "art" films from the 1970s. Don't know if they have a subscription to Playboy (for the articles, naturally).
The ALA's position against internet filtering has nothing to do with the half-assed nature of filter screening. It has everything to do with the notion of blocking access to something, even on the basis of the age of the viewer.
Well... the only question i have is: Where the heck are the parents of these children who are using the computers at the libraries? Last i checked, it's the responsibility of the PARENTS, not of the librarians, to ensure that the children are properly protected; although the liberals seem to like to take that responsibility away from the parents and hand it to the schools, the libraries, and whatever other community group or organization they can find.
