A recent post on the Facebook of the Clark County Library read as follows: This week the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District has 40 new bestsellers, 300 new videos, 14 new audiobooks, 78 new music CDs, 271 new children’s books, and 562 other new books… What this pathetic Las Vegas-Clark County Library District failed to mention was the number and volume of websites that it censors. If Cliven Bundy did not awaken the world to the severe and persistent problems of justice, education, and racism in Nevada, or if the hiring of Clark County School District Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky did not give businesses another reason to pause before investing in Nevada, consider the routine practice of a state-funded library censoring websites of students looking for scholarships, grants, and financial-aid. Las Vegas-Clark County Library Censorship Scheme DetailsLas Vegas-Clark County Library District is engaging a brazen scheme that works like this: Nevada students and other users of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District computers are being provided a bogus, misleading, and deceptive message when they try to visit popular websites that voice criticism of the Clark County School District, the education system of Nevada, and the rampant extent of students molestations that take place in the Clark County School District. Although the websites are teen safe, have no adult images, have no profanity, and even if the user is over 18 years old, censored websites are programmed not be accessed by the user. Instead, an error message is created that reads as: Internal Error has occurred. When the same user access the exact same pages or website from another computer that is not connected to either the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District or the Clark County School District, there are no problems.
