[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm being legislated to do this. [b]I have to have certain (and I'm not sure which ones, I'll have to read them all) books removed from my 11,000 book library by Jan 1 or I face disciplinary action. [/b]
Censorship is something I signed up to fight for, yet, I have no choice but to quit, and then someone else would just do it and I'd lose my pension.
Not sure I can do it. [/quote]

You don't even know the books to be removed.

Honestly, when I look back at some of the trash books I read in high school, involving historical romance novels bodice rippers, with rape, I would have better off NOT reading those.

There have to be some rating system in place for children and young adults to not be exposed to harmful content in the library, just like anywhere else.

How do you know the books aren't actually inappropriate material?[/quote]

I know they aren't. I wouldn't have ordered them. I was hired to put what I felt as appropriate books in the library. Pretty sure no one has been corrupted by what they read here. Nor were my own children, who could read anything they wanted.
But, there are books that have a sentence of sex in them - a rape for instance - and the rest of the book is about how the victim recovers from that. THOSE BOOKS are important. Classics have a sentence or two of sex in them. I will have to remove some of them as well! But I certainly don't remember every single book with a sex scene in it FFS. [/quote]

The people "checking" to make sure you've done have haven't read nearly as many books as you. Plead ignorance. You didn't know that one was a problem. [/quote]

Except you get one angry parent or one lunatic from Moms for Liberty coming after you and suddenly you are going to be drawn into something that can be very ugly.[/quote]
