From The New Yorker:
“Palin, though notoriously ill-travelled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. ‘Hawaii was a little too perfect,’ Palin writes. ‘Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.’ Perhaps not. But Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: ‘They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.’”
Fascinating. Nothing quite like your own dad dropping the dime on you.
