Most kids only read books in school to hide their erections. Some parents and politicians have suddenly gotten very concerned and on which books are available in school. I'm in dealing with this problem that they invented by the way in a time honoured way with a good old fashioned book back, according to the New York Times the pace at which groups of parents Officials in law makers are challenging. Books in school. Libraries has reached a speed that many haven't seen in decades. Just since the start of the school year, the American Library Association has tracked more than two hundred and thirty book challenges: nationwide parents and school officials banning books at an unprecedented rate record requested. Nearly a hundred Texas districts found that during the first four months of this square, parents made at least seventy five formal complaints compared to only one file during the same period last year. Origin is hold us her despoiling library books on the shelves of board members say they want to burn I want to look at every book that you guys
We have every book that is brought louder out of circulation. I'm sure we got hundreds of people out there that would like to see those books before we burn em. They want to burn books, burn books we're, not in the nineteen hundreds we're living in twenty twenty two. We shouldn't be burning books. with Africa. Is in microwave no kind of cool should now we could be like Celine the books. You know we could be lightly roasting the books, but some burdensome salt. Oh you taste that book now that's food for thought. So what I did but yeah, that's a situation right now. Parents across the country are trying to get books and from certain schools? And I'll be honest? If I was a kid and school right now, I would jump in and use this outrage to my advantage. we'll be there like. We have to get these box after shelves and don't forget the trigonometry textbooks and the Euro.
That we're rational. My face all now be honest people I don't know If these culture warriors have thought this through because making something forbidden just makes teenagers wanted more think about at any time. time, parents would say something would make the mad what would happen We want to do it even more, not gonna, be like books for these kids? You keep this up and soon reading. She's gonna be the new dating a black guy. I look. There have always been going in the wrong. They ve always been some parents who wanted books pulled from schools and libraries. That's always been you know, like conservatives wanted to ban Harry Potter for promoting witchcraft. Liberals want a ban if in, for using the inward mockingbirds. What abundant book about killing them, but recently recently the number of books being targeted has gotten out of control and the types of books that are being targeted.
A very revealing books on race, gender and sexuality are disappearing from school shelves, books about coming of age and reckoning with real world problems like depression, gender politics and racial injustice. History like the holocaust or slavery, one Tennessee district banning mouse appellate, surprise winning graphic novel about the Holocaust. One tells a story of a school segregation. Do the eyes SK in american students. One is the March on Washington and too our about civil rights, icon, Ruby bridges, one tearing even ass the district to remove a biography of Michelle Obama arguing the book. most reverse racism. The district denied the request accompanied these people want to ban a Michelle Obama Biography, it's a biography, that totally gives away the game that this is more about ginning. culture war than protecting kids, because once you banning a book about any first lady, that's political. I don't care what anybody says.
Book about a first lady. That's controversial maybe it's like Martha Jefferson's book. One hundred one tips for owning slave children, who cannot look like my husband yeah, that from the edge for the kids, but otherwise for you and you can see crazy. This book banning trend has gotten right. They banning books about race, about gender, Surely about emotions about history, guys! That's all books. about you. You take away all those books in what are gonna be left with how to about making pottery that bothers to sexy article. that they gonna ban, really bridges. You understand how crazy that is going to ban a book about Ruby Brigitte should I pogo meat of the National Guard together into school. Navid gonna have the national got a school for out and look I'm not
The school shouldn't be allowed secured. What books they carry. I'm saying that I am not able to say yes, ended, disclose shouldn't get to decide for them. Not I'm not I'm exactly lot saying, but you are seeing I'm not saying that libraries. We decided which books are in which books are not. In fact you can have a play boy in the school library I mean I did it, but I brought it self, they didn't stock and for me, this game of the space to read it but I guarantee you, the vast majority of schools: don't even have the most outbreak, books that, on these lists, what's happening here what's happening here, is that people are fine, the most scary pots of those scary books, and then they making a bad faith argument that you're being bombarded with all of the stuff. So all the books have to go. that happens. Even if you try and talk about books like if I say book, shouldn't be banned. I know someone's gonna pull out the most extreme example from some random library at a school in me like a Willie Trevor you're. Ok with kids reading in this- and I don't know- maybe I'm not
But now we arguing about one page in one book as if that's the story, when the actual story, his people, a using these books as an excuse to go after all the books that they don't like because, again people this isn't about books is about keeping the culture will going for political benefits. Are you you don't just have Republicans in dozens of states around the country, suddenly realizing all at the same time that there are books- want to ban in the library all at the same time come on. It's happen, because they think it's a winning issue, or at least they think it's me The winning issue then trumpets secretly still the president, but I am shut up. You're make us lose and the problem Waging a cultural instead of debating a political issue is that when people are fighting a war, they don't want to just when an argument. No, they want.
punish the enemy and why arming the county prosecutor's office considered charges against library, employees first docking books like sex, is a funny word, and this book is gay and local home up a bill sets a ten thousand dollar bounty to be collected by parents for each day. A challenge to book remains a library shells, Texas, Governor Gregg, Abbot, called for criminal charges against staff who provide kids with pornographic books, school librarians, fearing for their own safety. Now overbooks, many of us think you never do. We have to do is about fashion while people are you. Are you seeing this? U Seamus intellect this is the interview and inside it gives when they retching out L chop but when they expose the magical friendship between a pig in a spider, everything just think about, how insane things have gotten Wish school
I brescians feel scant for their safety. We ve got these crazy parents coming after them on top of all the other stuff that they have to worry about on a daily basis, school shootings covered their students finding up they just made up the dewy decimal system to I'm smarter than everyone else is book as by doktor shoes that under ash up? No, actually that in seven nine one dark for five slash: seven five! You end up allurement, it's one thing for parents to be upset about a book that their kid is reading of school. Once you offer attend, thousand dollar bounty. Think about what you're doing now using money just try and stop shit I mean, of course, people are gonna, start combing. The shells for anything that might pay out ten grand is a lot of money. Ten grand for banning a book is more than most offers made for writing that book. So that's the latest culture Well, that's tearing America pots happening in schools and
if an elite and stop there, because maybe it'll start in schools were pretty soon any place. The kids go to to find books could be come on targets.

Will these days is considered divisive. Here's one
that doesn't have any people in it at all. It's about two penguins and their little baby, both penguins are birds. Well told that book is also banned because of sexual perversion, which is weird because there's no sex in the book at all they adopt did the baby. What are you guys would mommy and daddy payments? Are the kids can make sure that the penguins are knocking boots aright I've got one that they can't? Possibly our problem. hop on pop. What disrespectful to parents you gotta be kidding me.
