Thread Name: BS: Alaska gov. Palin and banned books
Subject: RE: BS: Alaska gov. Palin and banned books
The press generally acknowledges no books were banned, but that (a) the chief librarian was pressured by multiple separate discussion on the subject of banning books, which indicates Sara was considering that course of action should it prove politically expedient to do so.

Two specific books about gayness -- "Pastor I'm Gay" and "My Father's Roommate", have been identified as points of contention in the articles I've seen on the topic.

What has been successfully "hung around Palin's neck" is that she is adequately oblivious of the constitution to actual think public libraries should consider politically-inspired book banning.


And a lot more pretentious twaddle, besides.
