She didn’t. It was in a public meeting, and (then) Mayor Palin said she was inquiring on behalf of voters how the librarian would feel about requests to remove certain books (no titles were mentioned, per Anchorage Daily News coverage). The librarian explained that there she was firmly against censorship, and went on to explain that there is a challenge process that anyone can initiate specific to any library materials. No specific books were discussed, and no books were banned.
The librarian apparently was also a supporter of Palin’s predecessor. Palin asked for the librarian’s resignation, along with a number of other city staffers that were hired by and supported her political opponent. After a show of public support for the librarian, the request was withdrawn. Nearly 3 years later, the librarian resigned of her own accord.
Note that the lefties are attempting to link Palin’s pursuit of a constituent’s request with the attempt to remove an at-will employee from their city-paid position (which was clearly her perogative as Mayor). There’s no evidence of any link, but that’s not stopping them.
The vicious attacks continue ...
“The librarian explained that there she was firmly against censorship...”
Every child should have to read “Heather has two Mommies,” and “Daddy’s Roommate.”
Although I’m sure books by Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, etc., would be free to go into the fire.
