Controversial Group Reflection

I met with my group tonight to discuss our controversial issue: Hate groups. Initially I thought it would be somewhat difficult to find information about the subject. Boy, was I wrong! The ALA and ADL are excellent resources. We discussed some information we found and the hot button issues that would make for an excellent presentation. I never realized that libraries were allowed/required to shelve books representing both viewpoints. I think the "Holocaust Denial" debate is extremely interesting. We are going to do some further research and meet on Tuesday with books from our own libraries. It will be interesting to see if we carry any "hate speech." We also discussed our methods of presenting our information to the class. I think we have all agreed on an interesting/different approach! I'm looking forward to working with my group; I think we will be great together : )
