      all of them. As a former homeschooling parent, I let my kids choose books in their age range and the next level up. Questionable topics? We read it together. If parents are concerned, they can be involved with THEIR children. Thank you for doing this video. I cried with you and I didn't even read that book!!

    Reading Captain Underpants as a kid didn’t lead to an increase in potty language, but it did get me hooked on creating beginner-level flipbooks when I was bored in class! Can’t have kids learning new avenues of creativity when they might otherwise turn out boring and joyless enough to ban books when they grow up. 😜

    My wife and I met while working in the children's department of a book store. While working there, one of my favorite picture books was Maurice Sendak's In The Night Kitchen. When we had our own children, I made sure to get a copy and read it to them often. The story is so clever and whimsical, and the art is magnificent. I was surprised to find that it was on the list of banned books.

    Loved this format! You were pretty spot on with the reasons. Books are great for teachable moments. Reading with your child brings you closer together and helps reinforce what you have been teaching them as they grow up! I hope more parents checkin with what their kids are reading and hear their perspective as to why they like what they chose. Maybe book banning would slow down!

    I myself have gotten very fascinated with this increase in book banning the past few years. I have been aware that there were bans on books most of my lifetime, but I've been fortunate enough to always live in places where this has not happened. A few weeks ago TH-cam's algorithm started to recommend to me videos on the subject, and it got me both intrigued as to why there has been such an increase, but also kind of outraged that this is happening in our country.
    I've taken up the hobby of going to my local library and requesting books I hear about on the internet as challenged or banned and reading them for myself. I started with "And Tango Makes Three" as I had seen sooo many videos reference this one book. I must say I was almost disappointed that it was NOT scandalous. Haha. It's such a lovely book, I wish my son was young enough to find it interesting. I just read the first volume of the "Bone" graphic novel series. I read that it's been banned/challenged, but I can't find enough information as to "why". I saws reason stated on a website claiming violence and political views, but I don't see that in the first book, maybe it's in later books of the series. My only "guess" at a reason in the first book is a character who always has a cigar in his mouth. Also, a reference to one character needing to undress to take a bath. We do not see this character take a bath, it is only mentioned in passing, but I'm guessing that someone might decide to reach that far to claim it's bad for kids... but don't we all need to undress to take a bath? I'm about to read "Captain Underpants" next. My son thinks he has a copy of book one "somewhere" so I shouldn't even need to drive to the library on that one.

    Coming from the podcast you did with the finance channel, I find it curious that you have concerns about people being closed minded enough to ban books and yet the tone in the podcast towards homeschooling was extremely closed minded and a sense that you would prefer to ban homeschooling altogether. Very nonsensical/hypocritical. Public school is extremely outdated and does not prepare children for the future. All of the negatives you had to say about homeschooling can and do equally apply to the public school experience. Look around, most children/adults were sent to public school in America. But I’m sure all of the problems in society can be attributed to the small minority of homeschoolers. I’m sure you have studied many things, but maybe logic isn’t your strong suit. I guess it’s easy to have strong opinions when you have primarily only taught small children. Let’s look at the level of burnout in high school and all the wasted time there. I myself took dual credit courses in public high school with straight A’s just to to be told that I had to retake all those courses at the local community college that supposedly worked in tandem with the local high school. I wonder if you even have children of your own or if you’ve ever been in close interaction with homeschoolers from all walks of life. You shouldn’t be so quick to judge a book by its cover yourself. I understand you want to protect your profession, keep parents reliant upon you for your own gain, but maybe you could do it without bashing a minority group of people you know very little about. Please be more open minded.

      Generally speaking the way freedom in the United States is interpreted is that you are free so long as your actions don’t impede on other people’s freedom. These books aren’t encroaching on other people’s freedom by existing and being stocked in libraries…but removing them does

      @@PrimaryFocus yes that is partially right. It also means that the government cannot through you in prision for speech. However, freedom of speech does not extend to the speech limits an employer can impose. So as your video implies, this is not an example of the freedom of speech rights as much as a differing of opinions on what is appropriate in the schools. That’s all it is. It is not trying to suppress anyone’s freedom of speech.

      @@PrimaryFocus Right. But in this case, the community is also the employer of a public school. It is a partnership. And the community has a free speech right to express their opinions too. This is not an example of a constitutional war of rights. This is a differing of opinions only. Now, I see nothing wrong with these books either, especially Charlotte’s Web. However the poor school district is tasked with the burden of balancing what differing opinions are in a community. Nobody is wrong here. Some books should be banned from schools depending on the developmental level of the child. But to limit what kind of material is in a school is not an assault on anybody’s constitutional rights. We cannot limit the communities voice either. They have a constitutional right to make their opinions known. All this is is a battle of opinions. Not a constitutional war.

    Books can help kids relate books can help kids create their imagination books can take you places you can't go and if a child is struggling at home with abused domestic violence maybe in foster care a book could be a way for them to escape so let's just keep taking books off the shelf people let's take that one thing that that child might have away from them so you're happy so you feel good
