Chuck Mason, editor of the Marshall Democrat-News, is not happy:
“I have no qualms with Louise Mills of Marshall, who objected to the two books and filed the necessary paperwork to bring the matter to the attention of the board of trustees. Mills is a resident who has a complaint and she has the right to register it.
“What I object to is pulling the books off the shelves.
“The library board has essentially blinked in the harsh light of public discussion.”
Mason is concerned about the precedent the board has set, fearing it will become an open invitation to restrict access to any material that might be viewed as controversial.
