Library Should Turn Down Wean’s Book

* Censoring ideas and points of view should not be tolerated, but to allow or disallow a book of lies, and a theory based on those lies, is not a free speech issue (“Library Staff Asked to Censor Book,” Sept. 26). When a public library supported by tax dollars is asked to stock this book, it carries far more serious consequences.

I would like for this malcontent, Gary L. Wean, to tell me to my face that the Holocaust is a “scam.” I have lost seven aunts and uncles and about 40 cousins to Hitler’s crematoriums and the Warsaw Ghetto, so it’s not a point of view he is espousing, it’s an outright lie.

Nor should his hatred and scapegoating of “Jew judges” be tolerated, much less expressed in our public library. There’s already too much causeless hatred around; we don’t need the likes of Wean to add to it.
