Porn splits public library board

The public library board of Sacramento is coming under fire for its failure to deal with a policy that allows pornography to be viewed at its Internet terminals.

(Warning: Subject matter not suitable for children)

The head of California's Campaign for Children and Families considers it a failure that the public library board finished with a 7-7 tie vote on the question. Randy Thomasson says board members "fell down on the job" during last week's vote -- leaving dangers to women and children. He notes those dangers arise from associated activities by those who view pornography, which includes masturbation and the presence of pedophiles.
 
"It's a terrible place, now, in the Sacramento libraries, for women and children because this pornography is the fuel for sexual criminals," Thomasson maintains.
 
Thomasson discloses that the American Civil Liberties Union actually wants the library to remove porn filters and add computer desks for more shielded pornography viewing. This is in stark contrast of pro-family supporters who want a no-porn policy and procedures that mirror a model from the Monroe County Library System in Rochester, New York.
 
"It is a model for the country because it blocks all the pornography, yet gives access for bona-fide research," explains Thomasson.
 
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors can still pass the kind of measure that would provide such resources, says Thomasson, and he remains hopeful that locals will bring the matter up soon for the board's agenda.
