- Abstract
- Writer Edward Cline looks at the debate on freedom of expression versus censorship in the USA with reference to the provision of information. He challenges the idea that there is a moral obligation to provide a forum for ideas with which one disagrees, noting the problems of public libraries attempting to balance the contents of their stock. Challenges American anti-intellectualism and maintains that, because of the invlovement of the government in so many areas of life, America can no longer be considered a free country
