Exercise 13

A federal statute prohibited granting federal funds to libraries that did not control access to pornographic Internet sites on library computers so that children did not gain access and were not exposed to such sites as they used the public facilities. The American Library Association challenged the prohibition as a violation of First Amendment rights. Are free speech rights violated with the funding regulation [U.S. v American Library Association, 539 US 194; lower court decision at 201 F Supp 2d 401]
