Reader offers comments on school censorship Issue i recently read the letter about censorship week and censorship in Public schools. The writer stated that the majority of would be censors throughout history have been concerned parents and that an objective examination of the subject would indicate that this assertion is True. Unfortunately that argument merely belies his ignorance no derogatory meaning implied of world history. The fact is that the majority of people ., the general populace throughout history has been illiterate and those who were taught to read and write were members of the social elite of whatever society is in question. Therefore in some eras members of religious institutions were highly educated while their congregations were not. One can also examine other civilizations where the wealthy politically powerful and other elite groups were Well educated As a Rule but the general population was not. That makes it very difficult to believe that illiterate parents could be concerned about what their illiterate children read at in Many cases non existent Public schools. Galileo Galilei he says Colorado can have Lamm in a recent Issue of stars and stripes there was a news release by gov. Richard got. Richard Lamm d. Lamm of Colorado. In it he says there arc two types of aids patients dying or dead. In a previous speech he said elderly terminally ill patients have a duty to die and get out of the Way. Mow can an educated Man who was elected to the office of governor of Colorado say these things look what a killer pneumonia was before penicillin came along. Look at All the killing and crippling diseases that have been con trolled by a wide variety of inoculations smallpox yellow fever and polio just to name a few. In t it time gov. Lamm Learned Lii Erc is always Hope sooner or later science will find a cure or come up with a treatment that will allow aids patients to live a fairly Normal life. As for the elderly that arc terminally ill where would our future be without our past who look care of you gov. Lamm when you were a baby and had no Way to support or protect yourself if nobody had been there you probably would t be governor of Colorado today. Colorado you have Civ. Lamm you re Welcome to him. Just Don t ship him to my Home slate staff sol. Jerry d. Strawser Camp new Amsterdam Netherlands family thankful for Germany tour to Start with we would like to express our thanks to the stars and stripes for the Quality reporting that appears in the news paper. We think you or a great Job As we prepare to return to our Home in California after two years in Germany we want to say that we have enjoyed our stay Here immensely. We took advantage of the Opportunity to Sec Germany and other parts of Europe. Germany however had a very special significance for us. We were especially enchanted by the German Countryside. It has the appearance of being carefully manicured to make it so picturesque. In a Way we feel it also represents a special rail of the German people. Our stay Here was made even More memorable by sonic very special people. Our Landlady was esp Cully helpful in helping us Settle in. Our neighbors were very kind and Friendly in every Way. This was very meaningful because we were in a foreign there is a very special family to which we Are especially indebted for making us feel so Welcome in this land. Their friendliness and concern made us fee very much at Home Here. They will remain very special friends for us. We feel that the examples set by this family and the other friends we met will help us reciprocate when foreigners come to visit our country.

Remember you re in a foreign country and fortunate to have it so Well. Pfc. J. Mccormick Vicenza Italy the most vociferous groups for censorship have usually been organi a inns. Based on political or religious Dogma that wanted to maintain the status quo and thus their re ions of Power and prestige since idea. Uld still carry throughout the state by Means of word of Mouth. Considering inc prime exam Ples of this Point. The trial of Galileo Galilei i1 one. It is difficult to Sec Hov this writer pm lion on this Point can be upheld. This letter exemplifies the frustrations most of us experience As Cili ens of a free met qty lie is also Correct to Point out those who wish to ban certain books from the school Library to which their children have Access arc almost immediately Villi find As Book Burn ers which is definitely an injustice and s nol help to resolve the Issue but merely to inflame the passions and guarantee an emotional and not reasonable decision will be made concerning the Book in question. Censorship is a Noral and ethical action The basis for censorship is the prevailing mores and precepts held to be True. If All moral and ethical decisions were As Black and while As Jerry Falwell would have us believe with his views in the right then Iacre would be no a Balc. However. The majority of moral and ethical decisions resides in inc Gray and obscure regions of Choice. Undoubtedly some books Are not Sui cd for children to read bul a Hen we decide what should and should not be placed on the shelves of any library1 we Are treading on very thin . Instead of approach ing the matter with an assured air of righteousness we would do Well to keep our minds open or As absurd As it May seem instead of protecting our children from trash or mature literature we May be alienating them from great works of Art.
