[ISLMA-Share] Bill O'Reilly Books?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

If you want to weed O'Reilly's works because no one reads them, that's
fair. However, John M. makes a good point about the slippery slope.
An author's personal behavior does not disqualify their written works. Many
excellent authors and artists do not have inspirational personal lives.
