Palin Bans Library Books? Is that true?

NO, Palin did not ban any books.

First I am a Democrat second Governor Palin did not ban any books.

Actually, what you're talking about is an entirely different situation. She never actually banned books, but she threatened librarians with dismissal on the grounds that they wouldn't remove certain books from the shelves. This isn't a theory, you can look it up. As for the Jesus and Pilate thing, that's nowhere near what they were getting at. The entire point is that there's nothing that makes a governor a better person than a community organizer. Being of one profession doesn't suddenly make you a better person than another.

Justagirl is right that she asked about the process.

But she did NOT fire the librarian.

There was apparently some talk about firing her. I don;t like that. but the truth is that she did not fire the librarian. And it appears that the discussion as to whether the librarian should go had to do with the librarian's support of Palin's opponent in the race. Again, I don't like that, but still, that is apparently the facts.

And where is your link to Obama's campaing spreading these lies & exagerations? Clearly Obama supporters were responsible, but that doesn't mean the campaign itself is responsible.

The woman was fired quite a bit later, not immediately and not for not "banning books". She "Suggested" what a lot of people do for the sake of children reading them that they not be carried in the library, but they could be ordered if needed by a patron.

I think she attempted to. BTW, how is that different than current bans of certain books in public schools? How come no one can explain that?

Huckleberry Finn is banned in our public school system as racist and that was accomplished by a Democratic School Board. So why is Palin so bad?

She banned a book that proved Obama is a muslim.

No, the media just keeps telling one lie after another about her. She did not fire and did not threaten to fire the librarian.

fear smear...they have been scared since Palin became the VP pick...its amazing how much attention a VP gets...and Obama says Republicans aren't talking about the issues when his own party keeps focusing on the VP pick of the republicans...

There is no list. But the fact remains – and is supported by clear evidence from the local newspaper accounts from Wasilla at the time – that Palin asked the librarian what the process was for banning books, and when the librarian voiced her shock and indicated she was against it, Palin fired her. The librarian’s job was reinstated due to local outcry.
