  • Not in Front of the Children: "Indecency," Censorship, and the Innocence of Youth is a non-fiction book by attorney and civil libertarian, Marjorie Heins about freedom of speech and the relationship between censorship and the "think of the children" argument. The book presents a chronological history of censorship from Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the Middle Ages to the present. It discusses notable censored works, including Ulysses by James Joyce, Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence and the seven dirty words monologue by comedian George Carlin. Heins discusses censorship aimed at youth in the United States through legislation including the Children's Internet Protection Act and the Communications Decency Act. The author explores the question of whether children and adolescents are negatively impacted by exposure to media deemed inappropriate by adults (including violence and pornography), arguing that youths are not endangered by sexually explicit material. Heins asserts that there is no simple tactic by which the government can censor material from children without violating rights guaranteed to adults by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. She points out that although the view of sexually explicit material's negative impact on children is unproven, the fear of its impact is used to support morality-based arguments; appeals to morality should not be a basis for censorship. Not in Front of the Children concludes that censorship under the auspices of protecting youth actually has the unintended consequence of harming them. Not in Front of the Children received the Eli M. Oboler Award in 2002 from the American Library Association as the "Best Published Work on Intellectual Freedom". Booklist recommended it as a starting point for discussion between adolescents and adults. Library Journal recommended the book for academic and public libraries as a detailed history of censorship related to obscenity. Publishers Weekly called the book a significant work in the fields of child psychology and civil liberties. In Florida, the St. Petersburg Times praised the book as an engaging look at attempts to prevent adolescents from thinking about sexuality. The American Prospect criticized Heins' presentation style, calling the book boring. (en)
  • 『子供たちの前では止めなさい: 「猥褻」、検閲、そして若者の純潔』(Not in Front of the Children: "Indecency," Censorship, and the Innocence of Youth)は、弁護士であり自由主義者であるマージョリー・ハインズによる、表現の自由と検閲と「子供たちのことを考えろ」についてのノンフィクション書籍。この本は、古代ギリシア、古代ローマ、中世から現代までの検閲の歴史を紹介している。また、ジェイムズ・ジョイスの『ユリシーズ』、デーヴィッド・ハーバート・ローレンスの『チャタレイ夫人の恋人』など、注目すべき検閲された作品について説明している。ハインズは、アメリカの若者を対象とした、児童オンライン保護法や通信品位法などの法律による検閲について論じている。 著者は、子供や思春期の男女が、大人が不適切と見なすメディア(暴力やポルノグラフィを含む)の参照によって悪影響を受けるかどうかの問題を調査し、若者は性的に露骨な内容によって危険にさらされていないと主張している。ハインズは、アメリカ合衆国憲法修正第1条によって成人に保障された権利を侵害することなく、政府が子供を対象とした資料を検閲する方法はないと主張している。彼女は、性的に露骨な資料が子供に与える悪影響の存在は証明されていないが、その影響の恐れは道徳に基づく議論を支持するために利用されていると指摘し、道徳への訴えは検閲の根拠であってはならないと述べている。『子供たちの前では止めなさい』は、若者を保護するという名目の下での検閲は、実際には子供たちに危害を加えるという意図せざる結果をもたらすと結論付けている。 (ja)
