First Amendment Anyone?

The Enfield Public Library on Wednesday canceled Friday’s screening of filmmaker Michael Moore’s controversial documentary “Sicko” under pressure from most Town Council members and the mayor, who threatened to cut the library’s funding if the film was shown.
“The sentiment by the majority is that it’s a poor choice and that they should definitely reconsider,” Kaupin said. “And if they don’t reconsider, then they’re going to have the repercussions of the council.
“I mean, in the end, when budget time comes and Mr. Dutcher is asking for funding” for the films, Kaupin said, “he’s going to have to answer for it.”
Dutcher said he was directed by the town manager, who is Dutcher’s supervisor, to cancel the film. When asked if he thought he would be fired if he failed to do so, Dutcher said, “I don’t know for sure.”

Okay then,
Anyone for Mr. Hulot's Holiday again?

This is a crystal clear reason why we shouldn't have public libraries -- they might lead the public to advocate for the public health, and we can't have that, now can we!

Heck our library showed "Step Up 3" not too long ago, I decided I could skip that. I wouldn't want to learn awesome street dancing or something like that. :-\\
