LOEG Library Debate Goes Public

The case of two library workers who were fired for keeping a copy of League of Extraordinary Gentleman: Black Dossier out of the hands of a nine-year-old patron apparently led if only in a falling backwards way into a public meeting where a number of speakers held forth on the matter. Additionally, a petition was introduced asking to bar the Alan Moore/Kevin O'Neill graphic novel, a Ron White DVD and a movie and book related to writer Chuck Palahniuk. First, I'd like to extend an invitation to Pastor Watts to stop by the CR office any time he'd like to see some real comics pornography. Second, while I definitely believe in as open a borrowing policy as possible, I'm also always happy to see public discourse on matters like this. One of the things that was upsetting about the original case was that someone had taken it on themselves to represent the community in a way that clearly wasn't reflective of the panoply of opinions folks in the community hold.
