The Librarian and the Guinea Pig
Posted on August 19th, 2008 by Dean
As a prelude to Banned Books Week next month, we have the tale of a heroic librarian defending a children’s story from the wishes of a religious homophobe’s attempts to suppress it. Of course a rational defense is never the end of something like this. A second person complained and stated there are 100 more ready to stand up for censorship.
As usual, those who cannot adequately defend their position through reason must make a competing information unaccessible. Censorship is always a sign of a weak message.
Banned Books Week draws attention to those who feel it necessary to impose their views on others by making messages they disagree with unavailable. Read a banned or challenged book today!
