Although I tend to be Libertarian by inclination, I find it difficult to get excited about laws restricting the spending of public funds. Censorship is the muzzling of people by government; not the imposition of limitations on what can be said in government facilities. Is it equivalent to book-burning to prevent people from posting political posters in libraries? How about a law preventing evil right-wing zealots from passing out religious literature in a library?
