Like it or not, it's a sensitive issue with many people. It's a topic that parents should deal with.
Schools are for reading, writing, arithmetic.. not indoctrinating moral issues. Of course, there should be structure and reasonable discipline, as well. Some don't want the Bible, or other religious texts, that's fine, then don't bring this stuff in there, either.
She never asked for any books to be banned. This is a non-issue, but I understand why the left would like to spread such a lie.
It doesn't matter whether she banned them or not. If she even suggested that she would ask a librarian to remove what she deemed offensive from a library, she shows that she doesn't understand the ethics of librarianship. She doesn't need to do something as dramatic as banning a book. She crossed the line when she asked that librarian if she would remove a book if the Palin asked her to. She had no business there.

I can't think of a reason why a library should not grant people access to the Bible or any other religious text. If someone decides that most people in a town aren't Christian and refuses to purchase a copy of the Bible for a public library, that's a problem also.
It is an important issue. A librarian allegedly got fired over this.
I think it deserves a debate and voters deserve answers.
It's not an important issue at all. However, with Palin, we have to discuss what little there is about her. I believe, like the firing of a state trooper, there are certain protocols for having books removed. If she followed the rules, then I don't care which books she wants removed. Any citizen can complain at their local library about the books on the shelves. Still doesn't mean it will be removed.

The key word is there. Allegedly. And of course we know that people who didn't like Palin will quickly take one side, while those who support her will take another side.
"She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term."
