@Raul Beck 'Mein Kampf' is NOT banned from Texas School libraries, but in a contemptible irony, Art Spiegelman's brilliant graphic account of his father's concentration camp experience, 'Maus', IS banned in many places. And the books that these school boards seek to ban, do NOT espouse the inferiority of a particular race or group or promote their murder as does 'Mein Kampf'. This is a false equivalency. And it could be argued that 'Mein Kampf' is the literary equivalent of yelling 'fire' in a theater: so dangerously vile and egregious, that it is exempted from free speech protections.

Someone fed this poor old lady some wrong information. Vetting age appropriate books for children in school libraries is not banning books. You can still purchase and read about two dudes getting it on in great detail if you want.
She is a true American, as was her husband, one of the many that gave everything so that the Free World remained free We owe that generation a debt of gratitude that should never be forgotten,that was the generation that truly made America Great Unfortunately that has been reduced to an acronym by those that are determined to make America the polar opposite of what it once was for personal financial gain
Everything that’s going on with MAGA/the former GOP, and backsliding from being a free and forward thinking nation, must seem like a nightmare to her. It is to many Americans, but for someone with the perspective she’s earned over time, it must be even worse.

@@seanpizzo8256 I agree insofar as books like that shouldn’t be made available to students of a certain age. You wouldn’t say that movies that are R-rated are banned, they’re just made age appropriate. Banning any literature, movies, or music is a slippery slope that can quickly lead to Communistic policy.
Amen RY_guy, and other respondents only have an argument if they start banning books about white heterosexual men as well. Somehow it always the books about a minority that raises ire. They don't even have to read them, they just want them banned.
Did Trump weaponize an unbiased DOJ, CIA and FBI? Did he buy out the entire media coast to coast? Oh wait, that's the Totalitarian Oligarchy pretending to be a Democracy
She is completely indoctrinated and naive. Poor thing. She has no true idea of anything. Nor do 99% of you reading this. WWII was WWI 2.0 -- Banker Wars nothing more -- and had NOTHING to do with anything she believes. "Nazi" is such a ridiculous fictional catch-all.
While developed countries around the world move forward and recognize freedoms for all, the US keeps moving backward and banning so many otherwise acceptable rights; that is, until the right decided to ban anything they personally didn't like. The right are working around the clock to remove rights we took to be obviously part of an enlightened democracy. This lady is a gift to us if only people will listen to her. Restore our freedoms Now!
No One can tell anyone about what can be read. As a former Registered Republican now a Registered Independent no longer tell me about Republican Values, Family, Law, Women's Health and Rights or supporting any Republican Candidate who only care about Themselves and their own Political Views and not those of the People who have elected them into Office to Represent them and Support the Constitution. Republicans except for a very few have proven that they have sold Themselves to the Highest Level of Who will support their own personal agenda and not those of the People.
I'm glad to see someone smart enough to put their beliefs above a political party. I know there are way too many intelligent republicans that have just ignored this nonsense, all because it's the republicans doing it.
facts man, there’s corruption in both sides and people make their politics their entire personality. I have more traditional conservative views, but there are so many more important things than politics
Unfortunately the GOP has alienated some of it’s most sensible members. Kinzinger and Cheney have been replaced by bimbos like Marge Green and Boebert. What a sh*t show.

The books are banned from school libraries only. They can still be purchased or at a regular library. Parents have every right to have a say in what their children are exposed to. It seems this point is being missed by so many

Someone fed this poor old lady some wrong information. Vetting age appropriate books for children in school libraries is not banning books. You can still purchase and read about two dudes getting it on in great detail if you want.
What a great lady! These GOP’s need to be reminded (again) what our veterans fought for. She should go to Washington, DC! Go girl!!! 👏👏👍👍🙏🙏🤩😎
Thanks to this grandmother for trying to give some sense to the woke governor of Florida ,
the woke governor in Florida? are you speaking about the future? cause the moron they have now is as Unconscious as a human could be these days
I wouldn’t really call the governor of Florida woke. 😂 He’s the one banning books right?
Best comment of the day! 😂
She is a true American, as was her husband, one of the many that gave everything so that the Free World remained free
We owe that generation a debt of gratitude that should never be forgotten,that was the generation that truly made America Great
Unfortunately that has been reduced to an acronym by those that are determined to make America the polar opposite of what it once was for personal financial gain
This is not just happening in FL! This is happening across the country in other Republican controlled states!
Basicly she is saying these republicans banning books is liken too that of nazzis. Enough said.
Lest we forget. Apparently DeSantis and Maga have completely forgotten.
Or not ....
Lessons learned.
Not at all they’d love to have a Nazi type society as long as they’re in charge.
They haven’t forgotten. They want the power that the Nazis had, and they’re doing what it takes to get it.
They havent forgot. They want to be the nazis, its intentional
They haven’t forgotten; they’re using the same playbook, stripping basic rights one by one.
Way to go! She’s 100% right. Thank you ma’am for taking your time to stand up for this.
Everything that’s going on with MAGA/the former GOP, and backsliding from being a free and forward thinking nation, must seem like a nightmare to her. It is to many Americans, but for someone with the perspective she’s earned over time, it must be even worse.
This lady is more of a patriot than any trumper will ever be.
I agree. We should stop banning any books from our schools. I think books like White Identity from Jarod Taylor. Irreversible Damage from Abigail Shrier and When Harry Became Sally, Responding to the Transgender Moment by Ryan T. Anderson should all be allowed in our schools. Maybe throw some Hustler and Penthouse magazines in there for good measure😉😘
@@seanpizzo8256 I agree insofar as books like that shouldn’t be made available to students of a certain age.
You wouldn’t say that movies that are R-rated are banned, they’re just made age appropriate.
Banning any literature, movies, or music is a slippery slope that can quickly lead to Communistic policy.
Amen RY_guy, and other respondents only have an argument if they start banning books about white heterosexual men as well. Somehow it always the books about a minority that raises ire. They don't even have to read them, they just want them banned.
Dude they tryna put perverted books in the hands of children.
Did Trump weaponize an unbiased DOJ, CIA and FBI? Did he buy out the entire media coast to coast? Oh wait, that's the Totalitarian Oligarchy pretending to be a Democracy
Thank you ma’am for your wisdom courage and patriotism. I pray for more citizens with your character and honest understanding of democracy.
This is a true American 🫡
Poor lady brainwashed by corrupt corporate media. She doesn't understand the school is banning pornographic material.
Wait ✋️
Hold on a second
Who banned the books
Was it the school Boards themselves or was it congress.
Is this a right or left thing
She is completely indoctrinated and naive. Poor thing. She has no true idea of anything. Nor do 99% of you reading this. WWII was WWI 2.0 -- Banker Wars nothing more -- and had NOTHING to do with anything she believes. "Nazi" is such a ridiculous fictional catch-all.
@@maddogbasil Governor DeSantis!
Exactly and DeSantis is a Far Right Lunatic!
God bless her and her husband. It's sickening that she had to do this in America in 2023. 💯🇺🇸
While developed countries around the world move forward and recognize freedoms for all, the US keeps moving backward and banning so many otherwise acceptable rights; that is, until the right decided to ban anything they personally didn't like. The right are working around the clock to remove rights we took to be obviously part of an enlightened democracy. This lady is a gift to us if only people will listen to her. Restore our freedoms Now!
Amen to that.
You go girl! 100 years old and still present enough in mind to speak out at a school board meeting against this budding fascism.
Thank you, Nana, for saying this. We are sorry, Nana, you felt you had to. Hey, y'all, lets do better.
Every American young and old should watch this they might even learn something thank you ma'am
Thats what Desantis does!
Takes your freedoms away
You are a great patriot.... As was your husband. Thank you both for your service. ❤
That’s right !!!! I love this lady
You go, girl! I am 85 and I totally agree with you!
I'm impressed that she's reading without glasses at her age. Bless you Mom.
No One can tell anyone about what can be read.
As a former Registered Republican now a Registered Independent no longer tell me about Republican Values, Family, Law, Women's Health and Rights or supporting any Republican Candidate who only care about Themselves and their own Political Views and not those of the People who have elected them into Office to Represent them and Support the Constitution.
Republicans except for a very few have proven that they have sold Themselves to the Highest Level of Who will support their own personal agenda and not those of the People.
I'm glad to see someone smart enough to put their beliefs above a political party. I know there are way too many intelligent republicans that have just ignored this nonsense, all because it's the republicans doing it.
They are keeping pornography out of the reach of young children, are you people just stupid ?
facts man, there’s corruption in both sides and people make their politics their entire personality. I have more traditional conservative views, but there are so many more important things than politics
Unfortunately the GOP has alienated some of it’s most sensible members. Kinzinger and Cheney have been replaced by bimbos like Marge Green and Boebert. What a sh*t show.
Riverat1221.... Thank you for your comment! You are a true American! Have a blessed day!!!😊
Miss, you are my spirit animal. Keep teaching.
what a great. great. lady. God bless a. lady
Go Girl ❤!
Thank you for stating the facts of the rights of what our late Veterans fought & too many died for.
If our young don't read & learn from the past they will be doomed to repeat the hate of today!
if grandma was told the truth about the books she would be shocked and appalled.
and for the record the books are not banned just not appropriate for kids.
nobody is banning books nor are they burning them.
Today this bright woman is my hero. The GOP needs to listen. ❤
Grace, Im 77 years old and previouisly thought that living to be 100 was not a good idea. Now Im rethinking that. You provided an incredibly articulate argument about the evils of censorship. Thank you.
Amen, sister. Thank you.🌟💥✨
BRAVA!!!!!
Please listen to those who understand the dangers of Florida's ill thought out policy.
Highly intelligent woman who should be listened to!
I'm glad there are a few people left from her generation to remind us what our democracy should be.
We can all hope to be as aware, alert and wise as her when we get to be that age.
Amen and that's so true ❤
@@renitaperry5808 ... perhaps with the one change of "if we are lucky enough to get to be that age".
I hear you Grandma listen up people Real Talk 💯 Folks
do you want your kids reading playboy magazine from kindergarten to the 3rd grade?
@@mikepotter4141 Certainly don't want them to read the Bible!
@@elizabethreed3358 I'm atheist btw so I know all about child groomers. Your fight with religion shouldn't be at the cost of children.
I love this lady...I wish more people like her would speak out against these fascist laws.
We understand you’re a pedo, and support child pornography in schools, but it’s time to get help
She's got nothing to lose. Ron wouldn't dare retaliate against her.
@@elhoward7440 She's a joke who panders to the far left .
@@elhoward7440 Yes, he would.
@@tylermanter1548 going left is the only right at this time in this country. Troll
The books are banned from school libraries only. They can still be purchased or at a regular library. Parents have every right to have a say in what their children are exposed to. It seems this point is being missed by so many
I love you Ma'am! Thank you for publicly giving a reality check and speaking the truth. I can't express my gratitude to you and your husband for your service to our nation! ❤️🇺🇲❤️
Thank you gma for speaking on this, so sorry for your loss.
This must be force fed to all Republicans and other morons attacking fundamental democratic rights. This old woman really knows what she is talking about.
Some Republicans are going so far as the Nazi's were right. In what world did the Nazi's do the right thing by killing millions of ppl?
There has already been saying that warning history will repeat the past if we don't get to see and read it in print.
We are seeing just how Hitler happened. Trump is still trying to become a dictator and these morons following him believe he is fighting for their freedom.
LMAO you do know the Democrats were responsible for much of the discrimination in America.
"force fed" sounds like "democray" 🤡 well only if democracy is code for communism. Poor old lady is confused. Some needs to switch her nursing home tv to Fox News. MSNBC got her brainwashed. Someone teller her they're banned pornographic material in schools. They're not banning Bible or Jewish material
This is why we should listen to the wisdom of our elders.
And everyday Biden mocked re his age. SMH. Age brings both wisdom and perspective.
Only the wise ones. The reason these books are getting banned is because senial old folks keep voting for senial Republican.
Blessings to you, Mrs. Nichol. Thank you for speaking out. 🙏✊🏼
Thank you so much Grace!! You are a beautiful woman who has lived & we all need to listen!!
Good for her speaking out against this tyrannical governor.
Ok groomer
🗣️ Absolutely banning books is Wrong Governor Ron De-Satan!📚
🗣️ Banning books is Wrong Governor Ron De-Satan! 📖
Hopefully he will be our next president.
@@PumaPete glad you like tyrants
Well said. Well done, Ma'am.
Wisdom comes from our history ! You go girl !
Bless this woman🙏 She is from a time of great sacrifice and selflessness.
I often wonder if there is any of that left in our society, this “I got mine” society. How vital it is to hear from people like her, who have seen first hand the slippery slope and what these actions pave the way for.
“Those who do not remember the past, are condemned to repeat it”
- George Santayana
Thank you for taking action as her husband did with his life on behalf of America . Now she's a true American Patriot. ❤
Shame on Florida!!!!
seriously, burning books 📚 who on earth, thinks that even sounds like a good thing.
You tell 'em! Solidly behind you. Your speech is great! Truth to evil.
Tell'em she is smarter than DeSantis
and everyone who wants to ban books.This is so much BS who do
they think they are to try to control
what free people read in their life.
This is a clear example of how sad our society has become morally when the elderly have to come out to fight, what does that say about us?
Bless this woman. She's 100% right and we should always listen to our elders
This woman is a true legend.
