This was debated on the news here recently in Las Vegas. Porn is currently allowed in the libraries here and a lot of parents are upset about it. You can go on a computer here and everyone around you can see the screen. I think they should leave it the way it is, so my answer is yes. Where I am from in Phoenix, it was not allowed, which I do not think is right.
Why on earth would anybody think that anything should NOT be allowed in a public library?
Should there be a general principle that nothing should be allowed in a public library if parents get upset over it? Do libraries not only have to be G-rated, but also stock only materials that conform with the political opinions of the parents? Or religious view of the parents?
Depends on whether you believe children should have access to it or not. Most of society thinks that material of a prurient nature is not appropriate for children, as they don't have the maturity or life experience/wisdom to properly quantify that material.
Guess what? Children don't have the life experience/wisdom to properly quantify material about atheism or communism or terrorism or slavery or the KKK or abortion or Fred Phelps or evolution or tapeworms or Dracula or human reproduction or death.
Interesting that in another countries porn magazines are sold in newsstands and gas stations. And guess what? Kids are not all excited about it! Maybe because is free to have it? Maybe covering kids eyes when approaching statue of David in the museum, or ( worse) trying to dress David in underwear (lol) is not the best method of rearing kids? Maybe all those rules about kids and nudity are a bit outdated? I am not talking about the really "dirty " porn, but about nudity and act photography.
"Dirty" porn sites on the Internet could be blocked on the library computers.
So, how acceptable is David statue for a school tour in the museum?
