Intellectual Freedom Lectures and the Dilemma of Offense-Free Teaching.

Curry, Ann

Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v38 n1 p43-53 Win 1997

Examines the difficulties of teaching intellectual freedom topics to students in ALA (American Library Association)-accredited programs of library and information science, particularly the influences of sexual and racial harassment policies adopted by the universities. Weaknesses are revealed that indicate a lack of protection for teachers of controversial topics. (Author/LRW)
