Banned Book Week
ROCK COUNTY Tuesday, September 30th, marks the 27th anniversary of the American Library Association's "Banned Books Week."
U-W Rock County spokesperson, Carrie Hermanson, says there will be a free public reading in recognition of banned books week on campus. Hermanson says they will be reading from several books, including Shel Silverstein's "A Light In The Attic" which was nearly removed from the shelves of a Beloit school library in 1985.
Hermanson says the English Honor Society at U-W Rock County is sponsoring the event. The readings will begin at one p.m. Tuesday in the lower lobby of Allen Hall on the U-W Rock County campus.

Palin And The Book Banning Question
In Oct 1996 Palin inquired as to whether Emmons (Wasilla town Librarian) would object to library censorship. Emmons resisted. Palin then raised the possibility that people may circle the library in protest, to which Emmons replied that the American Civil Liberties Union would get involved. Palin backed down. Palin fired Emmons on 1/ 30/1997. The next day she withdrew the firing after an expression of public support for Emmons
Quite frankly the thought of Ms. Palin sitting across the table from the likes of a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chills me to the bone. She is NOT qualified to be Vice President let alone President.
