- After the election, I wanted to look into the book bans that were existing around me. I found one school district where one person attempted to ban 444 books and I wanted to figure out the details. I encourage you to look into the book bans in your area and make informed choices in your reading.

A measured and thoughtful video. Quite good.
I think part of what happened is when one side brought up some valid books to review for restrictions there immediately came accusations of isms and phobes, which pushed the situations further into culture vs culture instead of the type of measured response you present here.
And likewise that pushed another side further into the 'they have no valid reasons just ists and be phobes so we need a total push back' which also avoids this type of measured review.
I don't know the best solution or how school libraries even handle check outs as I'm many years removed from school.
If there's a library card system perhaps a range of access on the card that is established each year by the students parents.
A book listed as restricted from elementary, but the patents can opt for their elementary child to have restricted access on the card of they didn't want any books resteicted to their kid. While other parents can opt for their child to have a card that has the restrictions in place.
But will there always be issues of unrestricted friends checking out restricted books for their restricted friend? Or staying in the library and reading a restricted book since check out happens as they leave?
My patents didn't restrict non porn when i was elementary and middle school but they did restrict music. So i dunno.
I started whisper-screaming at my computer when I saw Speak on this list. I read that book in middle school (all in one sitting!) and it was one of the most eye-opening, life changing, and important things I have ever done. EVERYONE should read it
YES thank you!!!
obviously, I haven’t read every single book on this list, BUT I have read quite a few books by Ellen Hopkins. She’s always been an ally to the queer community, she’s pro-harm reduction, and she’s one of my heroes. Ellen Hopkins wants people to have the tools and resources to prevent harm against teenagers. highly recommend looking into her books!
@@carililyyarbrough2305 I had no clue!! I’ll have to add her to my TBR, she sounds great!!!
i was required to read the outsiders in 8th grade, and omg it was so amazing but i cannot believe some people want it banned 😭
