I did read it carefully.  And since I have always said that porn should be
filtered, I assumed that is what he was talking about.  And whether or not
he finds Hustler offensive or not, can his kids purchase that magazine at
the local adult store?  Can his kids even get in the door of an adult store?

Seems to me that he needs to sue the adult bookstore and NOT the library.
But my point is, why is it okay for the adult bookstore to disallow a child
from coming in and purchasing porn, and DO allow a child to have access to
the same stuff in the library?  Why is it illegal in one respect, but legal
in another?  It doesn't make sense.

(I agree with your personal note, but at least this is one thing *WE* can
do for them)
