“A Conservative blogger and homeschooling mom whose video tour of a science museum went viral is being sued by an Illinois librarian as part of an ongoing dispute over Internet pornography.
Megan Fox, a blogger for PJ Media and YouTube commentator, has aggressively campaigned for more than a year to change library policies in Orland Park after she and an associate claimed they saw men viewing porn at the public library.”

she is a typical nut job, causing trouble for a library just because she has nothing better to do.
If you watch all of her other videos it’s always the same thing: nonsense, obvious point outs and most important: not a single idea to make things better or HELP.
She didnt’ make actress or real lawyer and so no she is wasting everyone’s time and money by blowing up tiny problems.
you are able to upload a video outside of a library to youtube but you need the library computer to check your email???? NO WONDER comments are disabled under her crap… because she won’t take criticism. TYPICAL… she is a JOKE.
I work at a library and when it comes to computer use, there are always strict guidelines in place. Most libraries have teen-only computer sections and adult-only computer sections to separate age groups in addition to child computer sections which are only for children and their guardians. These and teen computers always have filters in place to block porn, hate websites, etc. She could have easily accessed her email in the kid’s section, which I’m willing to bet is what the library staff member told her.
Porn in a library is always a “sticky” topic as it is a 1st amendment situation and libraries are a public place. Each library has their own way of dealing with it. Some libraries allow it while others restrict it though rubbing one out is never condoned since that would be indecent exposure.
In regards to the smearing effort towards the library worker’s drinking and work joke, come on. We all love our jobs and the majority of our patrons, why else would we work in this profession, but anyone who is working or has worked in a library relates to that joke immensely as everyday we have to deal with some people, like Ms. Fox, who just want to bully and use us and public institutions as punching bags and the focal point of all their aggression…Or in one case at our library, using a paperback book shelf as a urinal.
