From Booklist
Gr. 8^-12. As much for professional collections as for public and high-school libraries, this entirely new edition of the 1990 title includes sophisticated arguments on all sides of the current censorship debate in schools and libraries, on the Internet, and in the entertainment media. The articles and speeches are all very recent, as are the periodical bibliographies. Thomas Sowell says books are not being banned. Hillary Rodham Clinton says government funding of the arts should continue. There are arguments for and against antipornography laws, campus speech codes, and the use of the V-chip, as well as discussions of basic questions of whether there should be limits to free speech. As always with the Opposing Viewpoints series, some ideas are extreme, most are persuasive, and reading the opposing viewpoints forces you to think for yourself. Hazel Rochman
