I know this isn't the place for partisan politics and I'm not going to
discuss what I think of Sarah Palin's positions on abortion or foreign
policy or whether polar bears belong on the Endangered Species Act. But
she did try to censor books in the Wasilla Public Library and she did
try to fire the librarian for not agreeing to do so. And she did support
a bill in the legislature that would have forced librarians to tell
parents what books their children had checked out of the library.
I thought, as librarians, you might want to know her position on
libraries and censorship.
There is a well documented anti-Palin librarian's web site that
discusses this. issues:http://librariansagainstpalin.wordpress.com/
