[WEB4LIB] Re: Censorship Sites

The exact URL is http://www.drlaura.com/letters/index.html?tool=monologue&fcn=view&id=139  Dr. Laura has been on a tear all week about ALA, and shows no signs of letting up.   The main focus of her anger has been the link from the "Great Sites for Teens" to the disgusting and lurid "Go Ask Alice" site, which instructs children about bestiality, fisting, and other nice things.  ALA feels this site is appropriate for 12-year-olds.  With 20 million daily listeners, this is great. The American people are finally starting to hear about ALA's porn pushing to children.

Matthew, in addition to the sites others have mentioned, you may also want
(or not) to see what Dr. Laura (!) has to say. She's got a posting dated
today (Apr 30) that lists a number of pro-censorship sites (including, of
course, filteringfacts.org). This posting and one from April 23 also contain 
writings criticizing ALA's position and actions on the issue.

Never thought I'd be a referrer for Dr. Laura's site, but here goes:
