Religious beliefs apparently played a significant role in shaping Sara Palin’s political agenda as Mayor of Wassila, Alaska, including her attempt to ban library books that she considered socially or morally objectionable, or that contained “inappropriate language.” Politico, Time Magazine, and The New York Times each picked up the story this week.
It is unclear which books she found so offensive, but she reportedly asked the local library director outright if she “could live with censorship of library books.? Palin later dismissed the conversation as a “rhetorical exercise” and apparently did not push the ban from there.
I don’t know . . . if all of this is true, wouldn’t that make her both irrational and ineffective?
I thought of uploading Palin?s picture next to the banned books to draw readers to the content and reinforce my underlying point: book banning is bad, Palin wants to ban books, don?t vote for Sarah Palin.
