Forget putting these links on my other voices page. This is important, front and center.
Here are just a few voices on the subject, mostly from librarians. I love librarians, people who dedicate themselves to introducing children (and all of us to books and information-how great is that?) Most of them start their writings by saying that they are reluctant to “get political” on their blogs. I understand that-but now is the time to do just that. This is serious. If Governor Palin would attempt to ban books and pressure a librarian while a small town mayor, what would she do with the power of the presidency?
One post lists the books that Governor Palin (as Mayor) sought to ban. I haven’t seen the list verified yet-but if any portion of it is true my heart aches.
Get the word out.
