ABC Investigative Report on Sarah Palin, Mary Baker Emmons, Wasilla, Ann Kilkenny, Howard Bess, Pastor, I am Gay, and a new title has been raised: Go Ask Alice.
I always find it funny that people think Go Ask Alice is not appropriate for children. It is a somewhat fictionalized, ‘anonymous’ account of a girl who becomes addicted to drugs. It always struck me as a pretty basic morality tale intended to scare children.

Impressive that a national network aired this. It seems to be accurate, if you trust the local reporting that took place at the time. And I don’t know why you wouldn’t, without a good reason.

Very interesting. I don’t like Palin. I thought one of the books her church objected to was Pastor, I am Gay. I think she may have acted with her church to ban the books. This makes it more than just censorship, it also makes the issue one of separation of church and state.

As a local librarian, I am horrified that a Vice Presidential candidate would even think about banning books.
As librarians, we have all been trained to realize that ALL books should be available to the public, not just those that espouse particular political/religious views. That is our DUTY as librarians. I believe that banning any books is anathema to any public librarian, as it is to me.

I see that the initial uproar over this issue has died a quiet little death. What a shame.
I have added a link to the article as it appeared in the Anchorage Daily News on our library’s myspace profile.
It has begun people. I was asked in September 2008 remove a page from our official library website that had been there for over a year. It encouraged the people in our community to read books on the issues important to them. Issues like immigration and the war in Iraq. I was asked to remove this page from the website by our mayor. I removed it.
Then I was asked to remove the button from our website to our myspace account. I removed it.
John McCain did not choose Palin. Karl Rove did.

I support Sarah Palin. What is worse so-called banning books (which there is not evidence of) or supporting the killing of babies (even if they survive the abortion)?
Obama and Biden are bad news for future library patrons. Vote pro-life… vote Palin

Is there any hope this DING-BAT Palin will shut her large stupid mouth?
