If librarians are merely uttering pious platitudes
about the Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to
Read Statement - what they mean and how important they
are - while all the while practicing intolerance to
points of view they find personally repugnant -
including and often particularly the views of those
who challenge items in their collections - they are
exercising a devious kind of hypocrisy.
They are not in their persons modeling the kind of
democratic ideals they profess to espouse.
