NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN: "Indecency," Censorship, and the Innocence of Youth by Marjorie Heins explores the fascinating history of "indecency" laws and other restrictions supposedly aimed at protecting youth--from Plato's argument for rigid censorship to contemporary battles over sexuality education and media violence. Heins guides us through this ideological minefield, and suggests that the "harm to minors" agument rests on shaky foundations.
