PHILADELPHIA (AP) —A
trial over the constitutionality
of a federal law requiring
libraries to screen out Internet
pornography opened Monday
with librarians complaining the
government is trying to turn
them into the “thought police.”
The case is being heard in
federal court by a three-judge
panel. The trial is expected to
last for nine days.
Leading the challenge to the
Children’s Internet Protection
Act of 2000 are the American
Library Association and the
Multnomah County, Ore.. Public
Library. They contend the law
puts unconstitutional restraints
on free speech.
They want to offer patrons a
choice between filtered and
unfiltered Internet access, con
tending that parents and children
should be the ones who deter
mine what content they find
unacceptable.

Shailen Singh, a senior
speech communications major,
was one of the students recruited
to be interviewed.
“1 got a call one day asking
if I’d like to be in the video. It
was an honor to be asked to do
something like that,” he said.
But Singh said his interview
was not what was used for the
video.
“There were prompts for us
to talk about, but the part they
actually used in the video was
when me and the other guy
were talking between takes and
that’s what they wanted, two
students just talking,” he said.
Wright said that is what
high school students want to
see in a recruitment video.
“We were expecting to have
a formal voice-over, but during
the editing process we realized
the students were telling the
story themselves. We learned
from several high school focus
groups that prospective college
students want to hear stories
