Oh, I agree, this is frightening and also a supreme example of
micro-managing. Think how cumbersome the whole process would become.
Yes, it's a "solution" in search of a "problem." Where do people get
these ideas. Someone has too much time on his or her hands.

I was on the ALA site yesterday, and was horrified to see this
proposed
bill.
http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=News&template=/ContentManagement
/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=94578
If this URL doesn't take you there, please go to ala.org, and look at
the
third item under news.
Please contact your elected officials, and voice your opinion about this
bill.
I just left a message at the AASL office to ask why there wasn't
anything about this bill on the AASL web site. We all need to take
action
concerning this bill.
