LeVar Burton wants you to read banned books

[WinterBorn]

Are the teachers going to enforce those rules? I don't think they will.

They won't have to enforce it. The books can be age restricted and an underage student cannot get them. Simple.

 

[WinterBorn]

For those of you in favor of banning books, what about art books? You know, the beautiful books with pics of great works of art, like the statue of David or any of the numerous Greek and Roman statues that show more nudity than a Playboy.

At no time have people who banned books been in the right.

But I like the responses from the world. Not just LeVar Burton, but others.

The artist Pink will be giving out banned books on her tour.

She's great.

 

[MinTrut]

If books were actually banned no one could read them

Your ongoing confusion about the meaning of bans continues...

Why do you post a thread and then flee when you get your ass handed to you?

Why don’t you flee when you’re constantly getting your ass handed to you? It’s got to be getting really painful!

Burton compares the banning of books to attempts to control women's bodies:
"This is part of a movement that we are battling for control over our minds and our bodies."

Women's bodies do not spontaneously decide to abort a pregnancy all by itself. Besides, where was the outrage over trying to control my mind and body for two years trying to force me to take a dangerous injection later shown ineffective and wear a mask, also ineffective, even dangerous, otherwise I would be scorned from society, unable to shop or buy food or work, shunned and even threatened?

If the democrats ran a blockbuster video they would mix gay porn in with the kids section.

Democrats first confuse your child.

Then democrats manipulate your child into wanting a sex change.

And soon democrats will be taking kids from parents and "affirm" their gender with chemicals and surgery.

Democrats want to take the kids they manipulate from their parents and mutilate them.

Pure evil

Democrats here literally defend sexually explicit material in schools for small children. They give porn to kids.

MTG is RIGHT!!!

Really? Is that how you actually see it? Is there anyone on this forum who gets their ass handed to them more than you?
How is it all you losers are always so wrong about everything that you even think you're winning when you are losing badly?
None of you clowns can even admit how much worse off the nation is with Biden in office!

Guess you think $7.00 gasoline, $10.00/pound round steaks, $6.00/dozen eggs, 50% increase in energy, rent, mortgages, crime, depleted military stocks, from just a couple years ago, oil reserves gone, millions of illegals storming our nation with wars on two fronts now and a third on the way are all a /good/ thing?

I have no doubt that there are some democrats who want what you claim. But certainly not all of them, or even a majority.

Maybe you could answer the question I asked in Post #42.

Ask away. I like questions.

Here's one for you. How old does a child have to be for a democrat to legally provide them pornographic material?

 

[WinterBorn]

The question was "For those of you in favor of banning books, what about art books? You know, the beautiful books with pics of great works of art, like the statue of David or any of the numerous Greek and Roman statues that show more nudity than a Playboy"

21

21

Then why do you support democrats giving sexually explicit material to children?

I don't.

Can you answer my question now?

If it contains nudity, it isn't for kids.

Why do you want to show kids naked pictures?

Hasn't happened yet. I will let you know when it does.

I want them to see great works of art. If you look at the sculptures and see only nakedness, you are missed the point.

What drives people to silence others, and quash the free exchange of ideas?

“When I read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time,” LeVar Burton says, “I couldn’t imagine that situation in my reality. It was a shame, right? Wow. Those poor people in that misguided society. I live in that society now. That dystopian story has become my truth.”

LeVar Burton Wants You to Read Banned Books

Florida, the leading state, banned over 500 books. Florida’s governor is a huge proponent of that. This is massively concerning to the majority of Americans who do not support book bans.

Burton compares the banning of books to attempts to control women's bodies:

"This is part of a movement that we are battling for control over our minds and our bodies."

While liberals have been justifiably criticized for their efforts to alter classic works of fiction, conservatives seem to be pursuing a deeper and more pervasive effort to deny access to books they deem unacceptable.

But these same conservatives are the first to decry what they correctly describe as the war on conservative speech online, and the so-called "cancellation" of those who may have engaged in unpopular/unfashionable expression.

Why this disconnect?

Will the Constitution prevail, or are we on a steep slide into cultural darkness?

Wer any books…banned? Please list the books that were banned. If you meant removed from libraries in schools where kids could get ahold of lewd material, that’s not a ban, that’s just keeping inappropriate material from kids.

So, what books are banned. Also, if lavar burton is reading banned books……..then they’re not really banned, are they?

 

[ThisIsMe]

LOL! Just one?

How about a few? 'The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, 'Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and 'Forver by Judy Blume.

Most of the bannings have come in just a few counties. But the banning is real, not some conspiracy theory.

Oh? Link to the article of those books that were banned.

I have a hunch, in every case, it was not banned but removed from access to children because of sexual material.

I’m willing to read the article though, if you link it.

Banning books from a library is banning books. The fact that they are not illegal to own is not the point.
