Weigh in on proposal to ban social-networking sites

The ILA issued a press release today to inform members that Senator Matt Murphy (R-27,Palatine) will host an online chat from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22 about Senate Bill (SB) 1682, which would ban social-networking sites in public libraries and public schools. Murphy's live online discussion will be held at his blog. The freshman senator will answer questions people have on his bill.

The ILA urges its members to participate; be respectful but firm; focus on education as the answer; and develop your own talking points, i.e., use your language, your local examples.

For more info, the ILA published "DOPA and the Participation Gap," in the October 2006 ILA Reporter, pp. 16-21.
