Fathers’ Rights Book May Be Banned

ANCPR news:
On Wed., March 22, there will be a hearing in Essex County Court in Mass. which could result in the banning of a book by a Fathers Rights Activist, Kevin Thompson.

Kevin Thompson’s book is available here [for a fee].

Kevin Thompson has been fighting a long and lonely battle in the Essex Probate and Family Court to try to be able to be a father to his son. Several months ago, the court impounded the records of the trial and Judge DeGangi has recently granted a restraining order forbidding Kevin from distributing his book, Exposing the Corruption in the Massachusetts Family Courts, which apparently is still available at www.lulu.com.
There is also info at fathersandfamilies.org. It sounds like the judge just didn't want the corruption exposed.

Update (March 24): The Boston paper reports that the judge has issued a ruling on whether to ban the book, but no one knows what it is yet. A UCLA free speech expert says that it would be unconstitutional to ban the book.
