Libraries are public and are subject to regulation. You can write a book all you want, but it doesn't mean that you are entitled to public support. That isn't a violation of free speech. You need a refresher course on the first amendment. You have a right say anything you want to, but that doesn't mean that you have a right to be heard. By your measure, banning people from this website and pornography in public would be violations of the first amendment. The first amendment isn't absolute. Those aren't my words, those are the words of the great liberal judge Oliver Wendell Holmes. I guess Stare Decisis doesn't apply to you.

Yawn - Poor Palin - everyone is just being mean to her
For the last time, she cannot fire a public employee for indicating they would not ban a book.
Whatever - argue with yourself since we apparently are all idiots here who cannot rise to your level of acumen.
