Social issues are frequently contentious as they often involve conflict between competing interest groups and political stakeholders. For this reason, you will undoubtedly find that some of the pages in this section contain controversial documents. Their inclusion does not indicate Mid-Hudson Library System's endorsement of their contents nor sympathy with the ideology, doctrines, or means employed by their authors. They are included for the sake of completeness and because they contribute to what we hope is a balanced portrayal of the multiple perspectives and points of view inherent in these types of issues.

Please use these links for research, being sure to carefully assess the attitudes and ideas that you find presented. Should you have suggestions for additional sites to include, we'd be pleased to hear from you. Please email us at mkeefe@midhudson.org.
