UMKC is celebrating "Patriot Day" (Sept. 11) with readings at the university Library
from the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence

Here is a link to David Brodsky's  report (Jan. 25, 2002) on the misnamed "Patriot Act"
The "Patriot Act" destroys constitutional freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights

This includes the privacy rights of book buyers and library users
Without a search warrant the FBI can find out what you read
And librarians and booksellers are prohibited from revealing
that the FBI has demanded this information
What you read can be used against you
So much for the First and Fourth Amendments

Honor the Constitution 365 days a year
Read widely, critically, and fearlessly
