Ind. Law - Still more on: "Booksellers incensed over sexual content law"
Not only booksellers, but the Indianapolis Museum of Art, according to this longish story by Tim Evans of the Indianapolis Star, updating his earlier story from yesterday. Today's story begins:
The Indianapolis Museum of Art, which sells art books containing images of nudes painted by the Old Masters, joined a civil rights group Wednesday in suing over a law that would require a business selling pornography to register with the state.Maxwell L. Anderson, Melvin & Bren Simon director and chief executive of the IMA, said he is concerned about the law's effect on the museum and the broader message it sends.
Advertisement"Our role in this community is to foster tolerance for creativity, and this law is completely in opposition to that mission," Anderson said.
He added that the law "is not a signal of a progressive place."
