Kansans Informed By AG On CDs Bound For Libraries
Kansas Attorney General Kline explained that about 1,600 CDs bound for state libraries were screened to avoid promoting violence or drug use. Spokesman Whitney Watson said the list was not scientific but aimed to reflect reasonable values, with most edited rap titles still flagged for violence or drug content. The Kansas Library Association supported the process, noting libraries routinely curate collections while acknowledging some titles were removed.
