The Left is out screaming that Gov. Sarah Palin, while as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, tried to ban books at the city's library. This is just another untrue smear from the Left.
The Confederate Yankee checked and found that no books were banned during Palin's terms as Mayor. The only thing Palin did was to inquire on the challenge process parents may take to challenge objectionable books.
The Confederate Yankee writes:
Some panicky progressives keep claiming (erroneously) that while as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Sarah Palin banned book in the public library, or tried to ban books, and some of the rumors being passed around even attempt to named books that the rumor creators said were banned.
According to the National Review Online:
In the coming weeks, you'll be hearing a lot of claims that Sarah Palin wants to ban books or burn librarians at the stake or some such nonsense. Connecticut Yankee nukes the argument by checking with the Wasilla Library itself: "No books have ever been banned in Wasilla at the request of Sarah Palin, or anyone else. Further, only one of the five books challenged even occurred during her terms in office."
USA Today has this article on the subject: "Palin Did Not Ban Books In Wasilla As Mayor"
You can always tell when the Left gets panicky, they toss out all kinds of lies and smears. This is just another one.
