Backgrounder: The Sacramento Public Library has found a way to bypass the Child Internet Protection Act. While the library has filters installed (per the Child Online Protection Act), the library allows adults to bypass the filters -- even for computers in public areas where children are exposed. Recently, Sacramento rejected pleas by parents to keep porn off all library computers. Additional resources: WND, KCRA-TV.
Petition States: Our tax dollars should not be funding access to porn in our libraries and creating a dangerous climate for our children. We are petitioning the Sacramento Public Library -- and other libraries tempted to take such action -- to keep anti-porn filters active on computers and prohibit open access to pornography on the library's public computers. |
