Library Censorship Options

[sin]

courtesy of a link on fark.com, i found an article on a man who is suing his hometown $20,000 for having a book in the library about lesbian sex. apparently, earlier this month, the library board voted to have the book removed and replace it with something more 'sensitive' that has a 'clinical approach'. i guess the two teenage sons got quite a kick out of the book, as well as the father, because he claims that they lost 'many nights of sleep' over it. yeah.... im sure they did... jacking off to it.

what kind of bullshit is this? its a fucking public library for fucks sake! i can see it now "OMG!! lesbian sexorz!! eww gross!!" or "tee hee tee hee, girls playing with each other!"

article here: omg! no, not lesbians!

also, im wondering if he happened to look at the rest of that section. i bet theres probably a book on gay sex, and many many titles on heterosexual sex. lets just wipe out that whole section because its 'dirty'.

probably the only reason those boys knew about the book in the first place is because someone wanted it removed so the library council had to have a vote - which drew attention to the book in question. had someone else not mentioned it, im sure they wouldnt have even thought about it at all. of course, teenage boys always think about sex in any way/shape/form - but they dont normally go out and raid the library for books on it. $10 says that they probably sneak peaks at their daddy's porn collection stashed out in the garage that his wife doesnt know about.
