I'd interpret it to mean that a reader shouldn't have to defend that they enjoy comics, or Nancy Drew, or Ms. Michaels because they are ::reading:: and that's what really matters.
Admittedly, most of the "rights" are ambiguously worded, but it isn't a legal document, it's a way of suggesting alternate ways of reading and people the freedom to enjoy it.
People often tell me I should be a teacher, but I'm less interested in teaching :how: to read than how to love reading. I'm still uncertain it can be taught, but this list contains a lot of ways I try to help people enjoy it.
