OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK!
Libraries PUSH Child Access to Pornography;
Want Parents to Keep Paying for It!

Overview

• Most people believe the local library is a safe educational environment for people of all ages. Not anymore if the American Library Association (ALA) has their way.
  
  
• As more and more libraries "hook up" to the Internet, they are also "hooking up" to illegal obscenity and child pornography. Therefore, taxpayer funds are being used to distribute this filth.
  
  
• The ALA is stridently opposed to any filtering of pornography from library computers -- even for the sake of the children. According to Judith Krug, Director of the ALAís Office of Intellectual Freedom, "Blocking material leads to censorship. That goes for pornography and bestiality too. If you don't like it, don't look at it. ...if you don't want your children to access that information, you had better be with your children when they use a computer."
  
  
• Senator John McCain has introduced a bill (S. 1619) which ties federal funds for school and library computers to the use of some form of filtering. The local community would determine what to filter and the libraries would be required to have at least one computer with safe Internet access. A floor vote has not yet been scheduled, but could be scheduled any time.
  
  
• While the McCain bill is a very moderate step to assist in upholding community standards, the ALA is busy lobbying Congress this week to water it down further or kill it altogether.
  
  

• Pray God will give Congress COURAGE to UPHOLD DECENCY by passing S. 1619. May this bill be STRENGTHENED and not watered down (Ps 1:1-3; 27:11-14; Mal 3:3).
  
  
• May God bring CONFUSION into the ALA camp and utterly FRUSTRATE their wicked pro-pornography agenda (Ps 58:6-8; 70:3; Is 5:20; Rom 1:18-32).
