Target: Intellectual Freedom and the Courts

[Maureen Simmons <upprduck@IU.NET>]

At grad school we are in the midst of collecting info on Intellectual
Freedom as addressed in our judicial system.  I will be surfing about to
collect some info but also wanted to touch base with all of you.

Do the courts protect media specialists et al in cases involving
intellectual freedom?  What stand do they take?  What
info/URLs/cases/opinions can you give?

I will collect all data and add my own research to a future posting for your
info.  The basic starting point is the AASL position paper "Access to
Resources and Services in the School Library Media Program at
http://www.ala.org/aasl/positions/ps_billofrights.html


Please respond to me with same subject name
TIA
