On the History of Censorship

...from Robert Darnton, whose Great Cat Massacre is a book I used to greatly enjoy teaching.

    I think that there are very limited circumstances when censorship may be appropriate; for example, perhaps censorship should only occur when parents make choices on behalf of their children. And neither governments nor any other entities should never be surrogate parents for any adult.

    CORRECTION: "And neither governments nor any other entities should ever be surrogate parents for any person."
