OK - so Palin didn't burn any books. She allegedly pressured a librarian (to the point of firing her) to remove book{s) from the shelf,, From the sources I've researched, there isn't even a definitive list of what book(s) she wanted removed from the library. The titles people are passing aroung have reportedly come from a different list - critics appear to be pulling names off that list.
Personally, I'm against such censorship. I have no problem with someone attmpting to pull books off the shelf via legal avenues - it's why we have legal procedures - but I would prefer parents supervise their children in the library. Or the video/game store.
So I'm not going to think Palin's perfect either. Oh well. I doubt anyone is.
