In the book, this poor struggling woman receives $20 from the man who had sex with her; with that money she buys Pampers, bologna with a loaf of bread. In 2009, it is doubtful that $20 would buy those three items. But a student could take Kozol's story and perhaps have the man who picked her up off the street be a kind, thoughtful person, who takes her to his home where he and his wife provide temporary shelter for her family, and even locate a job for her the next day.

Take bus number 23, he says, but he cannot tell her where to get off or what the street is named because he cannot read. "The world is words," says Elizabeth.

The woman who has the friend who can't read takes library books to her friend and reads to him every afternoon. Then she locates flash cards in the library and begins to teach him the simplest words first, and as the weeks to by more difficult words. Then she works with sentences. Finally, she coaxes him out of his little flat and into the library where the children's books are kept. He enjoys relating the pictures with the words, and after a few months, he can read.

("Supreme Court Rejects..." 2002) More constitutional problems have been encountered in the law's battle against child pornography as a federal court in September 2004 outlawed a Pennsylvania State law that required internet service providers (ISPs) to block websites containing child pornography. The Court considered the technology used in the blocking of such sites as clumsy that could cause "massive suppression" of constitutionally protected speech. Apart from conducting a legal "balancing
