Which doesn't apply here, because there's no right to govt sponsored speech.
> and the seperation of church and state, having a politician want to ban books because of religious views supports neither of these ideologies.
Palin didn't try to get books taken out of the library, let alone ban them.
There's no "right" to the govt buying certain books. Libraries refuse to buy books every day. They refuse to accept book donations every day. They take books off the shelves every day.
Do you really think that a community can be forced to pay for a library that doesn't do as the community wants?
> The point isn't that she fired the librarian for supporting a political rival, the point is that this woman has views that could be considered
How about arguing against those views honestly instead of making up bogus charges?
