Blog Competency #2

The blog that I choose is: http://blogs.ala.org/oif.php I found the blog by searching on GoogleBlog.

"The most recent post discusses a decision by Creighton University president Rev. John Schlegel to rescind an invitation to Anne Lamott to speak as part of the school's Women and Health lecture series. Some public opposition had arisen to the lecture after Lamott's pro-choice politics and participation in an assisted suicide a decade ago came to light. In the wake of the cancellation, a group of Omaha churches agreed to sponsor Lamott at a larger venue in the city."

I find it interesting the things that people use as criteria to decide that something or someone isn't appropriate for not only them but others. It's one thing to decide for yourself that you don't want to listen to a certain person speak but I think it is wrong to force your view on others.
