Valenti on Censorship and the Film Rating System
Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America defends the 1968 rating system as a safeguard against government censorship. He explains ratings G PG R and X, the Board of eight deciding categories, and notes that most producers seek ratings while some still refuse. He cites legal changes and local boards, and argues the system protects both creators and audiences.
