SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- The 27-branch Sacramento Public Library board has deadlocked 7-7 on a proposal to abandon the policy of allowing all kinds of pornography at computer internet terminals. Thursday's vote of the 14-member board continues the stalemate between the ACLU, which wants to remove existing porn filters and use taxpayer funds to buy expensive pornography-viewing computer desks, and pro-family organizations, which want a no-porn policy to restore a safe and decent library environment for children.
"People are shocked to learn that sex addicts are viewing pornography, violent rape images and even child pornography everyday at the library," Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), told the library board. "Sex addicts viewing pornography are mast*rb*ting at computer desks and in restrooms. What parent would want their children to be in this disgusting environment?"
Thomasson provided the 14 board members with the no-porn policy and procedures of the Monroe County Library System in Rochester, New York. "Libraries should adopt this model policy that uses the latest technology to block sexually-explicit web sites, but still allows for bona fide research," he said.
