Critical Responses
Groups that favor restricting access to pornography and content they deem inappropriate have strongly criticised Krug's stands on these issues. For example, in The Internet and the Seduction of the American Public Library Helen Chaffee Biehle criticized Krug and the ALA for their positions that librarians should not act as the representatives of parents and society by restricting access to content, particularly for children.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or responses:
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
