Censorship, the Classroom, and the Electronic Environment.
Considine, David M.
English Journal, v74 n1 p38-41 Jan 1985
Suggests that the notion that the young can be protected by denying them access to materials has been invalidated by the expansion of the electronic environment and changes in community standards. Argues that since students today cannot avoid exposure to questionable material, it is important to see that the exposure they receive is educated and informed. (RBW)
