I am not sure that Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Geoffrey Chaucer would be considered dangerous to children. Judy Blume give me a break. Harry Potter, who is kidding who. I also fail to see how Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff should be banned.This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board. [emphasis added] When the librarian refused Palin tried to get her fired as she did with the Safety Director of the State who refused to fire a trooper who was getting a vicious divorce from her sister She also told her Assembly of God Church in June 2008 that it is "God's Will" that the federal government contribute to the expansion of the Alaska pipeline. (Must have been talking to George Bush). She sounds like one of those lawyers Bush put into the justice department. This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.
