[LM_NET] END OF THREAD: Obama's Speech

[Michelle Walker <michellekwalker@GMAIL.COM>]

This topic has been discussed at length in recent days, and the relevant
discussions on censorship, education, etc have been important for our
membership to weigh in on (esp as it will be aired in many libraries), so it
has been given some space in this forum to do so.  As the topic has now
turned largely political, it is now time to rein it in and return to our
focus on topics directly relevant to school libraries.  If anyone has
additional informational resources to share relevant to the speech, we
welcome those, but it is time to bring a close discussions on "to broadcast"
or "not to broadcast" and whether its political content is appropriate or
not.  We have heard both sides of the argument now, and the final decisions
will be made by local schools.

Thanks for helping us bring an end to this discussion.
