Hmm... that wouldn't be on my list of controversial books. How about a better example. If I wanted to read Mein Kampf (sp?) by Adoph Hitler, do you think I could get that at my library? I certainly hope not. Should it be there so that we can make sure the "Upstream" has a right to have his book featured in the library without being censored in anyway?
actually if you looked it is at the public library. speach is speach there is no shades of gray. either its protected or its not. you either censor or not. there is no inbetween.
