Wow?! Fired for censorship?! Wow! That is extreme. I could understand getting an infraction for that but fired? Although I don't think it was right to take the book off hold I don't think she should have been fired unless there are other problems that we don't know about.

If my child had a book, even a pornographic book on hold, I would want as the parent to decide what is appropriate or inappropriate for my child. I can decide based on my child's age and maturity level what is appropriate. I turned my child loose on the internet at fourteen but I would walk in at intervals and ask what site he was using. He was exposed to porn earlier than I was but that gave me the opportunity to talk about sex, STDs, doing what a person wants to do sexually rather than being coerced and stuff my mom never said to me but I wish she had. When he was sixteen I bought him some condoms to practice with and made it clear I was not encouraging him to become sexually active yet but just in case he did I wanted him ready to do it responsibly.

And a different point - I have an overdue book so can't put books on hold so I put three books on hold last week using my son's card.
