Palin did not try to ban books, or only want to teach creationism. This is for Frank

I wasn't going to get involved in politics here, but I saw some post about these topics.

Palin dismissing some false rumors about her. She has no problem with Harry Potter in the libraries, or with the teaching of evolution.

HANNITY: Let me ask you this, because there have been a number of controversies. I'll let you give a quick reaction to them. That have as the 30 mini army of reporters and op research people in the Obama campaign. Did you ban books in the Alaska library? Did you try to ban books in the Alaska library? In the Wasilla Library?

PALIN: No. But I got a kick out of that one also. Yes, no. No banned books. No desire to ban a book. That list of banned books, though, that we saw there that included "Harry Potter," which, of course, had not even been written or published before I was in there. To be accused of banning books, no.

HANNITY: It's false.

PALIN: False.

HANNITY: Never part of an effort to secede — have Alaska secede from the Union?

PALIN: No. False. Always been a Republican, not been a part of a party that has wanted to secede.

HANNITY: Did you only want to teach creationism in school and not evolution?

PALIN: No. In fact, growing up in a school teacher's house with a science teacher as a dad, you know, I have great respect for science being taught in our science classes and evolution to be taught in our science classes.

HANNITY: You weren't supporting Pat Buchanan for president? You did have a button on.

PALIN: I did wear a button at his book signing, or one of the events. Because see here, a presidential candidate coming to little ole' Wasilla, one year. And we all showed up. It was an honor to see anyone of that stature come to our city.
