If you chose to infer from Cliff's post that he was insinuating something, that was up to you. He merely posted a list of books which have been banned in the US, in the past, many of which may well be on Palin's own personal list of books to ban. Incidentally, I've read (and own) a bunch of them. Seriously though, banned by "who"? No one has the right to ban any book. the American Library Association, will not carry some books, but usually for political correct material. "Blubber" was challanged, (or "banned" as the OP would like you to think) because it contained racial slur's A lot of modern classics are challenged ( or "banned" as the OP would like you to believe) because they have sexual connotations, violence etc.and are classified as inappropriate "for certain age groups". there's nothing on that list that a person couldn't read at any time since they were published. That is, unless you looked for it in a local public library, and even then that is questionable. BTW, I don't think that "righties" control the American Library Assn. |
