Seth Finkelstein writes "The American Library Association
(ALA)
has designated September 21-28, 2002 as
"Banned Book Week".
This is an event to "Celebrate Your Freedom to Read".
So, as a small contribution in celebration of the freedom to
read, here are some book-related websites likely to be banned in some
libraries and schools, as they are all blacklisted as "Sex":
"Banned Websites Week" - book sites as SEX (SmartFilter)
Nowadays, book-banning has moved into the modern age. With
a Federal censorware law
(CIPA)
affecting schools
and
libraries, the freedom
to read, if using a computer screen rather than paper, is arguably
being extensively threatened."
