Censorship?

Whatever the merits of the case made, this image is offensive and absurd. As a male librarian with very little hair, I take great offense at this stereotypical depiction of the shushing librarian.






Mr. Muncy is chief operating officer of the Institute for American Values. From 1996 to 2008, he was editor in chief of Spence Publishing.

I am exceedingly wary of anyone or anything proclaiming values. And, just what the heck are American values? (Presuming, of course that this individual and this institution mean U.S. values.)
