For more than 25 years, SIRS has been dedicated to the concept of
intellectual freedom and excellence in education. To further this concept, we
established SIRS Intellectual Freedom awards.

"I am proud and extremely honored to accept the
Intellectual Freedom award sponsored by SIRS Publishing, Inc. While the
censorship issue was a most unpleasant incident, it is an issue which we, as
educators, must be willing to fight at all cost. Finally, I am especially
proud to accept an award from a company whose materials are so highly regarded
by students and media specialists, myself included, nationwide."
