[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 309378, member: 831"] I agree with you that school vs. public libraries are quite different situations. I would not have such books that you have mentioned in my school's library. I believe them to be inappropriate reading matierial. I think you make a good point about the consequences of drawing vs. pictures in the book. However, if a kid gets a book on guns from a public library, should the the librarian deny that child access to it? Would the librarian then have to use his or her judgement on the child's motivation and reasons for getting the book? I just had a kid the other day ask if I had a book about "weapons". I ask him exactly what he means. He meant guns, knifes, etc. "Uh..NO" was my response. Nor will I authorize such purchases. Huh??? Schools and their libraries are responsible for turning kids in difficult children? Did I actually read that?? If freedom to read anything turned a kid into a difficult child I would be the Queen Mother of difficult children. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
