I was listening to Dr. Laura yesterday afternoon while driving around doing
errands.  She was announcing to her listeners how to register for the ALA
conference in New Orleans, and encouraging as many people as possible to
attend the conference.  Dr. Laura feels that the Library Bill of Rights is
unsafe for children, and that people who care about their children should
attend the conference to make their views known to the ALA. It is very
scary to me how she is using the power base that she has developed, through
her show and her books, to attack an important and reputable organization
like the ALA.  An organization that has worked for years to protect
individual freedoms and access to information - freedoms that are the
mainstay of a democratic society. The ALA and all librarians are being
called to defend the truths we hold dear and to educate the public about
our mission teach children how to access information safely.
