Velshi Banned Book Club: 'And Tango Makes Three'

  • Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
  • 25 years ago, two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo bonded, caring for an egg that hatched into a chick named Tango. The true story inspired authors Justin Richardson & Peter Parnell, becoming “And Tango Makes Three,” a feel-good, beautifully illustrated story about family dynamics, love, identity, and acceptance. On the page, readable and family friendly - off the page, an emblem of the censorship and freedom of speech firestorm that has engulfed our nation’s libraries and public schools. The story has become ubiquitous in literary and education circles and the penguin characters - real and in the story -- have become political warriors in and of themselves.

    It's a book about freakin penguins. It could be about raccoons or polar bears or whatever. If its a true factual story, why get upset about it?

    • @unicorn-glasses

      Because it's easier to get upset about things that don't actually harm anyone than face the issues that do. As long as conservatives distract themselves with things like banning books about penguins, they don't have to think about important issues that put their children at real risk of harm.

      I've always wondered about that. They can't have children of their own, so the only way they can have a legacy is adoption or going after other people's kids. For years they've chanted 'we're here. we'reQueer and we're coming for your kids'. They chant that during almost every march.

      And why can't the book also be made available through public libraries so kids can read it for free? If you object to having the book be so freely available, then perhaps we should do a full and thorough audit of every book available at every public library and allow people to object and have specific titles removed. Would you be fine with that?

    • @unicorn-glasses
      @unicorn-glasses 2 месяца назад +6

      Did you watch the video? They specifically discussed how most parents in America can't afford to buy a bunch of books for their kids. That's what libraries (public and at school) are for. I grew up in a middle class family but even for me, probably 90% of the books I read (and I read a LOT) were books I borrowed from the school library or the public library. Removing books from libraries is essentially banning them for anyone who can't afford to buy books whenever they want to. Which is most Americans. This is a book ban.

By the time the kids are doing their kindergarten year they already know how to write and basic addition and subtraction. By the end of their kindergarten year they are all doing word building and reading (at different levels) and many are working on multiplication and division and learning about fractions. I have never heard of any preschool teachers teaching about “gheys”. Unless you think teaching kids to be kind to all people is a bad thing?
