- No Room for Censorship in Our Schools
How else to explain that so many U.S. history and government teachers go out of their way to avoid discussing the context in which President Bush, in his second inaugural address, for example, used words like "freedom" and "liberty" some dozen odd times? Or in which Vice President Dick Cheney, during remarks to Westminster College in Missouri a few years ago, paraphrased Winston Churchill's assessment of the snuggle against Soviet communism, in order to paint a picture of the chaos in U. S .-occupied Iraq as a contest between "those who served an aggressive, power-hungry ideology and those who believed in human liberty, freedom of conscience and the dignity of every life"? Words like "liberty" and expressions like "freedom of conscience" are easily said; the challenge is living up to th...

- Read On During Banned Books Week
We live in a free society where all people should be able to speak their opinions without fear of retribution or censorship. Sadly though, this is not true due to the increased censorship of books in schools and public libraries. This is where Banned Books Week comes in. Banned Books Week is a yearly event sponsored by the American Library Association to celebrate freedom and the importance of the First Amendment. It began last Saturday and runs until Saturday. During this week, people are encouraged to read books that were previously banned or challenged based on the content in the book. The week supports free speech in classic and contemporary literature and knowledge of the effect that reading can have on society.

- Schneider On Soap Box
I heard a comment made by Sen. Elizabeth Schneider, D-Orono, Tuesday Sept. 8 that made my blood boil. She had called in on the George Hale-Ric Tyler show on WVOM 103.9 FM in regards to what she called "censorship" over some schools not airing President Obama's speech to school children. In an exchange with Ric Tyler over censorship, our senator blamed talk radio for basically spreading hate and discontent. I suppose she believes talk radio should be censored but that the president should not be questioned.
