LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY redstar826)

I'm currently in school studying library science, and my classes have spent a fair amount of time talking about various attempts to remove materials from library shelves.

While working on various assignments for school, I kept coming across a website for a group called Safe Libraries which is very critical of the American Library Association (ALA) and the ALA's support for intellectual freedom. Based on the links page on the Safe Library's web page, it's clear that this group has ties to a lot of the "family values" type groups. this article which appeared in the Chicago Tribune quotes Dan Kleinman, the guy who runs Safe Libraries.

In my classes, challenges to books are almost always made out to be the result of just one or two people being offended. However, there is also evidence to suggest that some of the Dominionist "family values" groups are getting involved and trying to get certain books removed from libraries.

Anyone know anything more about this particular group?
