I found this link in a rant on the Megatokyo website.

Apparently, some people down in Texas are requesting that their local library change its policy to a more decent one that serves to the community instead of, as they put it, "a philosophy and policy which promotes 'anything goes' as the [American Library Association] preaches through and through, even to minor children."

The writer asks why taxpayers should support a county institution that he claims does not protect and even endangers children. He then says that his group has the moral high ground in the matter, goes on to say that people "appreciate being led in the right direction", and keeps making references to President Bush and the war in Iraq.

He says the issue is not one of censorship, but one of "community protection, moral judgment, and decency."

I think it's deliberate PC-ness. If parents don't want their children to see certain books, they should at least keep them under supervision instead of going around pulling presumably offensive titles off the shelves.

Any thoughts?
