I still feel that the people of South Kitsap were forced into a vote based on a threat against the children. But I do wish the parents luck on getting what is due and what was promised to them by this school district's administrators. I am appalled at the attitude and lack of factual information presented by the Kitsap Regional Library staff and board regarding issues surrounding Internet access at the public library.
Pornography is material designed to sexually arouse the viewer.
A great deal of research has proven that pornography is harmful, affecting attitudes, values and behaviors. There are many federal and legal precedents recognizing that pornography is used as a tool in sexual harassment. Opponents of responsible library policies claim that libraries have a duty to provide a wide variety of information. Pornography is many things, but information it is not. Material designed for sexual arousal has no business in the pubic library funded by taxpayer dollars.
