Boston situation: Cybersitter?

[Earl Young]

     There is no question that "who guards the guards?" is an issue.  But 
     it is easier to fight that battle - politically - if an institution is 
     not also dealing with parents concerned that nothing is being done.

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the original message say they wanted 
to use 'Cybersitter'? Cybersitter is embroiled in a law suit about why they 
are blocking sites that are critical of their product.
So, pornography might not be all you don't see at BPL-- you might not see gay 
& lesbian materials, the NOW site, etc.
I'm not vouching for the validity of the charges, but here's the URL where 
they were announced:

My opinions are my own. No one else would HAVE them anyway.
