Parents protest library's Web link

Hey Hey Ho Ho This Anchor Tag Has Got To Go! A group of IL parents is asking the library to take down a link on its Web site to a Planned Parenthood site for teens.

"There's no way teens can look at this and get accurate information," parent Kerry Knott told the Batavia Library Board on Tuesday. "It's extremely misleading, and I look to the library as a credible source of information."

She said the Web site, www.teenwire.com, listed under the library's health and fitness links in its Young Adult section, has inaccurate medical information and downplays the health risks involved in sexual activity and abortion.
