With that said, Three and a half years ago, the Supreme Court upheld the requirement that any public libraries who wish to keep receiving federal funds must install internet filters on their computers to keep people from viewing porn.
While I do not agree with that choice, it was made. You may want to contact your local congressman to see what he is doing to uphold that decison. |
Right or wrong, one must question the appropriateness of "finding it arousing" in a public library. My personal opinion is that it's highly inappropriate to view pornography in any setting, most especially a public place where there are children roaming about.
