Shouldn’t we also make encyclopedias usage prohibited for children? Perhaps technically easier to just forbid both encyclopedias and children within libraries.

- mdp2021 3y agoCareful with that irony Eugene, there have been displays on the news even recently of people who find the Arts unacceptable because they may depict genitals (Greek Urns, Renaissance Statues etc.), so easily you will find around voices that could respond recommending that children be protected from exposure to the Arts. (And - ironically - not from the obscenity of those very voices.)

- ben_w 3y agoSometimes people un-ironically say such things about dictionaries. I would note that there are such things as "children's encyclopaedias"; I might have had an earlier edition of this one myself as a kid: https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Illustrated-Encyclopedia-DK/dp/1465451692 https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Illustrated-Encyclopedia-DK... (I wonder if they still put in the cartoon of the Aztec Blood Sacrifice?)
