Palin 451

Time Magazine has an interesting article which includes a paragraph about how Palin tried to find out out to ban books. Here is the link: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1837918,00.html

Here is the part about book banning:
Former Wasilla mayor John Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

Banned Books week is September 27–October 4, 2008
