Recently I have had two different employees of my district approach me about my magazine purchases, asking why I only purchase "liberal" magazines and no "conservative" magazines. The librarian before me subscribed to "The National Review", "The Weekly Standard" and "The American Spectator". I cut these from my budget because 1.) The students never picked one up. 2.) Our students have access to databases that include these periodicals (money issue). I DO currently subscribe to "Time" and "Newsweek", which have been described to me as "liberal". Am I totally clueless here? Are "Time" and "Newsweek" really that liberal that I should look to balance my magazine collection with conservative magazine titles? Please respond to me off list. I don't want this to turn into a political debate. I just want to get a feel for how others out there handle balancing political views in their High School collection. Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
