Claire Kirch, Publishers Weekly; Publishers Call Out Target for 'Censoring' Book Descriptions
"According to Ohio State University Press director Tony Sanfilippo, 
Target’s move might be a well-meaning policy gone awry. “I understand 
that they might want to avoid controversy. But if they want to keep 
Nazis off their site, or Nazi-themed products out of their search 
results, there are ways of doing that that don’t censor. If you can’t 
say 'Nazi,' you can’t stop Nazis. And if you can’t search for books 
about the trans community and trans issues, your search engine and your 
corporate philosophy are morally flawed.""
