LM_NET: Library Media Networking
In reference to Barb Engvall's message about the craziness of San
Francisco's public school board:
Perhaps the board hasn't thought of simply adding titles to an existing
reading list? It seems to me that deleting titles is reminiscent of
Kristallnacht. Allowing students to read widely and form their own
opinions of many writers' styles, ideas, characterizations, etc. would be
the wisest course. The mark of a great writer is that everyone and anyone
can, indeed, "see themselves" in the art. Underlying human goals and
passions transcend the trendiness of current "multicultural diversity"
programs.
Add, don't subtract! Offer more choices, a broader spectrum.
Librarians: beware the censor!
