But where does this assumption come from, and is it true? In Not in Front of the Children, Marjorie Heins explores the fascinating history of ?indecency? laws and other restrictions aimed at protecting youth. From Plato?s argument for rigid censorship, through Victorian laws aimed at repressing libidinous thoughts, to contemporary battles over sex education in public schools and violence in the media, Heins guides us through what became, and remains, an ideological minefield. With fascinating examples drawn from around the globe, she suggests that the ?harm to minors? argument rests on shaky foundations. 606 $aCensorship$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNational characteristics, American$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aObscenity (Law)$zUnited States 606 $aYouth$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xMoral conditions$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCensorship$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, American$xHistory 615 0$aObscenity (Law) 615 0$aYouth$xSocial conditions 676 $a303.3/76/0973 700 $aHeins$b Marjorie$01035856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451994903321 996 $aNot in front of the children$92475523 997 $aUNINA
