The search function on the ALA website provided lots of leads, almost all of which were dead links. I assume this is because of the revamping of the website? So I am asking here, are there any official statements or other documents that apply to protests on college campuses? Thanks for any ...

Virginia elected a Governor who campaigned on parents' rights (to censor) after his opponent made a foot-in-mouth statement that parents shouldn't be telling schools what to teach. As Governor, he has worked on keeping that promise. Last spring the ...

About twenty years ago an organization then called World Church of the Creator booked the meeting room in the Tabb Library in Yorktown, Virginia. I had a couple of long phone conversations with the then director. First, there was no way to keep them out and still have a public meeting room. (Tabb was ...

RE: Poll: The RMRT Board Meeting has traditionally been held on Saturday morning at 8:30 to 10:00, but that has been problematic for some members. This year we have scheduled it for 3-4 pm. There is still time to change it. What is your preference?
