Banned Books Week

article image placeholderUploaded by @tjh
So why is all the effort to do that? Well, I don't want my kid to read it. I understand. I understand that you can say, well, is this really age appropriate? Can a kid this young check this out? I can understand you can have questions, but who gives you the right to determine what everyone else's kids can read or not read? I want everyone's thought it's banned books week

What is happening to books?

Do you allow news ignorant friends?

But I have no idea why there would be any books banned from a library where adults can go and check out books or choose what their children read. Even I have no idea why books would be banned or what would be banned. I can't imagine a good reason for any book to be banned from a library if it's a book that's typically read or worth being in the library shelves as there's only so much space due to interest. What do you mean by banning?

If you are a critical thinker, you have the ability to discern what books are okay for you in terms of what you want to read and don't. But you need the choice to read. And there are choices being taken away because of politics, church and state, blurred lines, and it's just a horrible thing, and it's something that needs to be talked about more. So, Trevor, thank you for bringing this up again

Some people might have differing opinions from me, but I was a teacher for years, and any teacher that you meet that is worth their weight would be against the banning of any book. And I really do stand by that

If you came and then God puts you into the stork's mouth and then he dropped you down, like, what the h***? That doesn't even make any sense. He knows all of the proper terms. He knows how he was conceived. He knows that he came out of my body in that way. And so one day when he was about four, he was climbing on this jungle gym. He didn't have shoes on it. He slipped

Because we all can do something. It's about if we are and if we will. And I say have a good time and let's start changing the world. First we have to start by changing our minds. Let's start putting these books back to people's minds. And when I say that I mean, make books look cool again. Since this is how this is all working, people just flow along with anything. Talk about books, show books. I don't know
