The government of the South Bullshit Branch Library, Ashville, NC censored A book given to it by a friend of mine. The book was donated to the library, and reviewed for about 5 weeks. Then the donor received A phone call to delight come up and pick up the book. The library declined to stock the book. The library government obviously do not desire the people to cognize its contents.
Librarians are supposed to accept, catalogue and make books available to be read by the people-especially donated books. If a individual travels through all the cost, troubles and jobs of authorship and publication a book and donates a transcript to a library, the bibliothec have got no other option but to catalogue the book and have it on the shelves for readers to peruse. I can see that a library can pick and take when buying books from their ain budget, but that regulation cannot be applied to donated books.
Librarians are not censors--at least not in a supposedly democratic free country. People, including high school students, must have got the chance to read books that involvements them.
If censoring in United States is the new educational standard, people are considered by authorities to be nil less than immature animals that cannot find what is acceptable or unacceptable to their ain taste, wonder and demand to understand the human race and spirit that environments them.
It may very well be the policy of libraries throughout America. This is obviously in misdemeanor of the state fundamental laws and in misdemeanor of the Amendments of the United States Fundamental Law dealing with free fourth estate and the people's right to freely talk up and compose up, and listen and read. Censoring is a distasteful, un-American activity! It cannot be tolerated to be practiced by American governments.
We are supposed to live in such as a liberated and censor-free society. What is in the book that authorities makes not desire you to know?
