[Marxism] Books Palin tried to ban




It seems possible that the list of books Sarah Palin allegedly tried to ban as mayor of the Alaska podunk (see my earlier post) is a hoax. Many of the books fall into the category of books right-wingers have long sought to ban from school libraries. Whether Palin herself attempted to get them banned is not reliably determined, it seems. I have written the alleged compiler (a professor at the University of Wisconsin), but haven't received a reply yet. A google search turns up a number of sites about the list, including a /Los Angeles Times/ article that does not entirely lay to rest the issue. Here is one of the sites that claims the list is a hoax, for what it's worth.
