Intellectual Freedom Highlights

  • Lost, stolen or censored? | OIF Blog; “I argue that when a person hides materials, defaces materials or steals materials from the library, they are also denying access to ideas and information that is constitutionally protected by our First Amendment. When the intent is clearly to suppress ideas thought to be objectionable or offensive, it is censorship.”
  • Talking to Kids About Intellectual Freedom | OIF Blog; “Adults can advocate for themselves. Teens, though sometimes stymied by school boards and a need for parental consent, have some agency. But what does advocating for intellectual freedom mean for kids?”
