Library is Censoring!!

Pure and simple cowardice is what it is! An exhibition of Zahra Kazemi's photos is being censored by a Montreal library, follow the link if you want to read more.

I haven't anything else to say for fear of ranting and raving.

Oh my goodness. So then why didn't they just display some other pictures or articles which portray the other side of the story? You should never remove information. Add more information so that people have a choice and can decide for themselves. When will people ever learn??

Intellectual freedom and censorship have been a topic of much discussion in my program. As (soon to be) librarians we have strong views on the subject. We are also very grateful that Canada does not have the all powerful, oh so invasive Patriot Act.
