Attorney Mitch Berger read the recent article updating the story of the
two Kentucky library employees who were fired over taking a volume of
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen off a child's hold list (see "More on Library Employees Fired over 'LoEG'") and wanted to share how the story
is being covered locally:
For readers who want to see how this story is being covered locally, here's the link to a November 8th story on the library workers (neither is actually a librarian) in the Lexington Herald Leader. The comments posted to the story are quite illuminating. It turns out that Kentuckians (at least those online who read the newspaper) don't like censorship any more than the rest of us.
"Child protection or censorship? Library employees lose jobs over book"
