Are the National Geographics next to go? UPDATED

In today's Post Gazette, our Mt. Lebanon Library is making the news. It seems that a photograph, that is part of an exhibit of architectural photographs, is making some people nervous.

"Innocence," a historic painting hanging in the Mercer County Courthouse.

The problem is the exposed breast in the photograph of the mural and the close proximity to Mellon Middle School. The library asked the photographer to replace the photo with a different one and photographer John Flatz refused.

So he covered up the offending breast on Monday with a picture of a bra and an arrow pointing to it saying "Censored by the Mt. Lebanon Public Library."

Are the National Geographics next to go? Maybe the library should talk to our school board director, whose billboard says that even good girls go there.  We have truly lost it here in Mt. Lebanon.

Nothing has been censored. There are no photographs of bras or statements of censorship.
