Libraries for Studying?

Rox, the question isn't WHAT is filtered, but more this:

Let's say there is a row of computers all side by side in an open area. Say, 10 per side, 2 rows...

guy in the middle is surfing hardcore porn movies, clips, and watersports sites.

there is a 5 year old kid on one side visiting disney, and an 11 year old on the other side reading the latest news on their favorite boy band.

The viewing of hardcore pornography in this situation is inappropriate, and it is likely (about 100%) that the children would be exposed to the material in question.

Filtering in this situation is a GOOD thing... good for the kids, good for our business...

Forest, it isn't any more unconstitutional than putting coverings on porn mags or requiring ID to buy cigarettes. You don't want to make the computer areas in a public library into a red light district, now do you?

go reread my post

I said and I quote " I Agree that we dont need porn in the libraries, especially with the amount of free crap and the ease at which kids can access it "

and the "quote " that is there is from the article that the ACLU calls it

"clearly un-Constitutional."

so please refrain from miss quoteing me in the future

Have A nice day
