Recently the news stations have been reported that a public library in New York City is allowing its patrons to visit pornography websites on their computers. The issue has sparked much debate over the legal and moral aspects. Of course religious leaders, more vocally the Catholic Church, has denounced such practice. However, the spokeswoman for the public library said it is legal as long as it is not child pornography, which their computers have filters to prevent. Apparently viewing these types of sites in a government funded building is what has many people questioning the policy. Please check out the news clip below and tell us your thoughts. Should people be able to view porn on public libraries? Is it protected under the 1st amendment right? Tell us your thoughts.

Well I think they should....Public means it is for everyone' use. Once you began to censor it based on what a few deem in/appropriate then it becomes a slippery slope....allow all content....equal access.
