Potentially Attempted to
be Banned by
Sarah Palin
Witnesses and
contemporary news accounts say Ms. Palin asked the librarian
about removing books from the shelves. The McCain-Palin
presidential campaign says Ms. Palin never advocated censorship.
But in 1995, Ms. Palin,
then a city councilwoman, told colleagues that she had noticed
the book "Daddy's
Roommate" on the shelves and that it did not belong there,
according to Ms. Chase and Mr. Stein. Ms. Chase read the book,
which helps children understand homosexuality, and said it was
inoffensive; she suggested that Ms. Palin read it.
"Sarah said she didn't
need to read that stuff," Ms. Chase said. "It was disturbing
that someone would be willing to remove a book from the library
and she didn't even read it."
