Even More News from Denver, where the battle over alleged pornographic, Spanish-language material inside the Denver Public Library morphed Monday into a battle over illegal immigration outside the Denver Public Library.
A protest and counter-protest drew dozens of people to the Central Branch of the library to rally for their respective political causes.
On the Denver Protests
Well, at least the article points out that the two sides stayed mostly polite during their protests, even if there was a lot of fingerpointing. However, it should be of concern that a book challenge is basically being used to promote an anti-immigrant agenda, a very racist one at that. Readers simply have to look at the other stories reported here to see it.
I would add more, but this is a small space, so at the risk of self-promotion, I have written some observations on the topic at my other blog. If interested, can visit it at http://itinerantlibrarian.blogspot.com/2005/08/den ver-city-librarian-asked-to-resign.html.
