Grace knows what she's talking about! From the Great Depression to today, she's lived through it all and both her moral compass and BS detector remain in first-class working order after a whole century.
Here's an idea. Why not just set up an area off school property and hand out all the books that the school bans to the kids? Beat them at their own game. There has to be libraries and organizations that would donate the books.
Yes, Ms. Grace, u tell em! I♥️her! She perfectly shows _It's NEVER TOO LATE to STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT!_ Call out the ridiculousness & say, "NO! I won't sit silently & watch!"
I'm late to this and saw your comment. I was just thinking Joe Biden needs to show up at her door with medal in hand and kiss her hand ( that's what we do the elders in my family) This woman is a national treasure.
It emphasises that difference does not mean evil, that angels may take on unimpressive forms, that wanting everyone to learn and think and make families the same way is a Bad Idea, that love is greater than hate, and suggests that those who are very different may have an important part in the Divine Outline, doing things and solving problems that normal-thinkers cannot. Of course Christofascists hate it.
I think the W ladies being able to change shape despite being explicitly not human comes within the conceptual orbit of tansgenderism and even skimming that idea is TOO TERRIFYING for right wing minds to contemplate a child being exposed to.
@@jacobthelaserdragon4815 The funny thing is they want to ban Harry Potter AGAIN after the author came out as a transpohobic and right-wing bigot. To the point I can't admit I actually love the series and love Hogwarts Legacy. The last two Potter books are literally about what the GOP is doing now, where Voldemort slowly takes control of the government and finally ends with attacking a public school. Its a little too on the nose.
@@jhonshephard921 I haven't read all the books yet but i love the movies. They are banning those books because it's MAGIC & that's a load of BS. I LOVE magic
More power to her. I am Danish and this would never happen in our country. People need more knowledge. The United States already has too many uneducated humans!
He talks like that because he is exactly what you say. And deSatanis is nothing more than his mini-me. The GOP has become the party of anti-American idiots. They are literarily destroying the USA, and their base are uneducated fools. To Hell with every damned one of them!
Some people are coming on here to call this old lady a groomer are that she's senile. There's something definitely wrong with you if that's the way you feel about her. I suggest you go show your mother this video and see what she has to say.
The first time I've heard someone say that you have both DUTY and RIGHTS according to the Constitution and in this case first amendment. I guess it takes someone with life-experience to remind us of that. Good for you, Grace!
This is just ridiculous. These people are seriously bad. I had a librarian ask me if I thought my daughter at 16 was too young to read Pet Semetary 2. Get real. All because of a little napoleon
Grace has my deepest respect and admiration. Her speech was so true and relevant to today's fear mongering and removing actual freedoms by the right. Like Cenk said:"I love her."
Yep. Can't argue with her on anything she has said. Do we really want to be compared so precisely to Nazis? I would bet--besides people who directly embrace this--that most Americans would never say "we're just like the Nazis!" Oh, really?
This amazing woman, a war widow, is drawing direct parallels between the Nazi’s and the contemporary Republican Party. Both of which she lived through. Goddamn I share a country with people who are okay with that.
Schools are federal property we give money to those schools. So how is sleepy joe letting this happen. Joe worries me. He said more about busing then this.
@@lillia2479 I don’t remember saying I cried about your comments. If I cry about anything it’s about you bull headed way of thinking it’s right to treat people this way. Id
Wished they had played Grace"s entire speech/commentary. Towards the end she says why these bans are happening, the fear of knowledge. She then goes on to say that fear is not freedom and that control is not liberty.
The penguin book is by Julia Donaldson who is a very highly regarded childrens author in the U.K. The Gruffalo, Monkey Puzzle,Stick man, Room on the Broom etc. loved reading them to my boys years back.
My mother and grandmother both died at 99 both of them were not that coherent in the final years. This women is what we all want to be if we are lucky to make 100, a coherent intelligent women who seems to have lost none of her cognitive ability. She is 100 and yet she is so much more aware of what's right and wrong than some of our politicians. A man this fine lady would as I have seen in the flesh Winston Churchill paraphrased Santayana in 1948 during a speech to the House of Commons "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. " Lets never forget Heinrich Heine's ominous sentence, "those who burn books will in the end burn people," and be aware in todays digital world a banning books is not unlike burning books. If you can ban books then you can ban people.
If a book gets banned, read them, it's normally a high recommendation. I got arrested for giving out copies of The Little Red Schoolbook, outside my school, it was deemed obscene because it gave advice on sexual matters, STDs and the address of sexual health clinics. It was funny when they got me to the local nick, my mum was custody inspector that day. You should have seen their faces drop. When I said, "Hi mum, it appears that Special Branch think I'm worth arresting!" Special Branch are the secret squirrels of our policing system, most are some what gung ho!
@@capt.bart.roberts4975 I remember that book as I was at school in Malta when it was published and they banned it immediately but then they used to cut or black out page three of The Sun. Of course being a petulant teenager getting a copy was top priority and in that search a friend of my fathers brought two copies from the USA via Brize Norton (he was an RAF Pilot). Interesting read but here 54 years later the most surprising thing about that book that we were unaware of at the time, it was freely available in the USA because of Free Speech and yet here 54 years later they are banning books in Florida. We really couldn't make it up could we. As far as the Police are concerned, sorry they have always been corrupt and short of disbanding every single force it wont change. The problem is not individual police officers they are after all human, the problem is a culture that tells those police officers there loyalty is to the Queen/King and those with money/power and the little people are the enemy. After over 52 years in contact with them I can say that I just don't trust a single one of them. In my case what makes the matter worse is I shared a dormitory block in a YWCA in York (a block of bedrooms joined up by a common kitchen/sitting area) and the illegal acts those guys got up to were unbelievable from drug taking, drunk driving, after hours drinking and even taking bribes then being quite open about it. So brazen was the latter that one Friday they discussed how much they made from "donations" that week as a dick contest. And yet on the whole they were otherwise great guys.
Has anyone considered that the Judy Blume books, Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks story...these book bans are an extension of anti-feminism!? These books feature girls and women as the main characters. Why aren't you getting THIS point??
If you don't like certain books libraries carry, just don't read them. Don't take that "freedom" away from everyone else who wants to read them. Also, these groups don't realize that this is the most basic form of reverse psychology; when you tell kids not to do something because it's bad or dangerous it makes them want to do it even more. When Maus got banned from school libraries last year, online sales for it went up because kids who had never heard of it suddenly wanted to read it.
Sure, a lot of these banned books may become more popular. Good insight! However, I think that, at the same time, fewer kids will have exposure to to important social issues. So I think it's still a net negative.
Because everyone wants their children to read basically porn??? You people crack me up seriously they need to put all of you diddlers on a island together with the trans people 👍
Thank you to this Florida woman for speaking truth to power!
She is 100% CORRECT!! LOVE her!!!❤🌈📚🎒🧠💡💖
That woman lost her husband 80 years ago. Most humans alive, can't even conceive that.
Why not?
At 100 years-old this woman has seen enough to know what she speaks of.
How do you know that?
She knows what she’s talking about!
“Fear is control” absolutely! Listen to the elders.
Well... not all of them garner listening to.
These are indeed wise words, even if the thing you are asked to fear is nazis or homophobes.

It's fools we are dealing with
This sounds like what hitler did in Germany when he burned books art
