Under what circumstances is denying a government subsidy - internet
access in a library - abridging the First Amendment? Isn't that
confusing the First Amendment with whether the taxpayers have a duty to
pay for access in libraries? Filters (in the discussion thread) do not
keep things off the Internet, they keep them out of libraries.
If your First Amendment argument can be dismissed - which it can because
no one is being stopped from expressing an opinion or a thought - what
other arguments for child access can be advanced?
