Finally some reason from you. You say you can actually understand why parents have valid concerns. Now I least I know you are not an ALA-controlled automaton.

Did you know the ALA has already been sued for harm to a child caused by unfilter Internet access? The ALA won. But that was before US v. ALA that the ALA lost big. Now there are other cases, post US v. ALA, where children have been molested or raped in a situation where it may be the ALA's fault, at least in part. But no one I know of has yet brought such a case. But as more and more children are harmed, eventually someone will sue the ALA. At that time proper resources will be brought to bear on the ALA, and given its actions and a court's search for truth, the ALA is likely to lose. Again. But I can't read those tea leaves. We'll just have to wait and see.
