      lol it's actually not. people who ban books are mostly because these books try to indoctrinate children. or spread lies packaged as history. search youtube for the number of parents in public schools in the US and the kind of books they seek the school boards to ban. democrats/leftists are just disingenuous people.

    People should please step out of their negativity. Ms Ngozi Adichie is one of the best speakers out there. I admire her level of confidence and knowledge. The way she dresses and her hairdo define her true authentic self and she does not pretend to be what she is not. As a matter of fact, she should be someone to be emulated. Thank you Ms Ngozi for making us proud!!😊

    I was taught about slavery in my school from the age of 7years even though I felt sad, it empowered me and made me know how my ancestors suffered in the hands of some white people who were engaged in the atrocities of slavery. The inhumanised treatments they suffered.

    • @thomgrlisdebra

      I am in my 50s and we, too, were taught about slavery from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our teachers were predominantly black, and they always reminded us of what great things our ancestors achieved even in the midst of great suffering. It was a privilege to get an education because so many of our ancestors were not allowed to attend school. Lastly, my parents, who experienced Jim Crow laws taught and modeled forgiveness! What a powerful concept forgiveness is, eh?

    I am a teacher with over 2 decades of experience, teaching and living on all the habitable continents of the world, and I am now uploading my experience unto my channel, with the aim of inspiring more people to embrace what I do. My goal is to hopefully stem this rising tide of hiding the truth, which is currently sweeping across the globe. As a Nigerian myself, Chimamanda has inspired me so much, and I know I have used her 'Danger of a Single Story' speech in all the classrooms I have entered, simply because a lot of people (by instinct) do not expect me to occupy the role I currently occupy on the international teaching stage. Children need to be exposed to crucial history and knowledge, albeit at a level appropriate for them. Wrapping them up in ignorance bliss just because someone somewhere thinks it will hurt their feeling is wrong - people who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

      It will enlighten them, broaden their perspective, help them understand about people who identify in a way that may be different to them. Banning books about LGBT does not eradicate the group from society nor does it mean that their stories don't exist because they're not available to be read on American bookshelves. Kids end up being dumbed down, unenlightened and unable to understand societal issues. Why ban books on one group, LGBT and not ban on another such as WASP or men? Why should a minority group's literature and narrative be banned? In a country that prides itself in upholding free speech? No justification in 2023, in 1823 maybe, not 2023. My two cents from Kenya.

    their parents should encourage it
    as an African i started reading at 10years old because i lived with an uncle who read and at 73 i spend 3 hours or more a day reading feeding
    my mind which is so important
    people do not realise how far books could take a children they can become writers like Ngozi
    Qprah Winifrey is a billionaire because of her love of books early in her life which has shaped her to be where she is
    a child who loves books could become a poet, music writers etc articulate, confident so many thing he could do instead of looking for jobs

    I love Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! She is a voice, like Toni Morrison, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, that more need to hear, absorb and learn from.
    Politics and racism as a flavor of American experience has no place in education. Alas, everyone, uneducated and unexposed to urbanity as most here are, act like know-it-alls and insist on comfort in their ignorance and reject out of hand what they know naught about, and that reporters, like the one here must ask the ridiculous question-line from their question bank, Do you have hope? or Where is the hope in conversations around race, CRT, etc? Ridiculous, knee jerk interview requirement
    -- only in America!
    First of all, would you have "hope" if similarly situated? I think not! Enragement is a closer emotion, and even that is useless in the face of ignorance which is largely lacking in self-reflective perspectives and drive to become urbane.
    That said, please keep writing and reporting, tides change so there is hope despite the toxic brew of ignorance paired with entitlement!
    BTW: CRT, critical race theory, is only taught on the graduate level in college. That elementary School boards are up in arms about it and PTAs are exercised in opposition to it attests in my world to just how deep racism is cut in to the American psyche, and how critical it is to expose it for what it is as the air of knowledge and truth are the only antidotes!

    How did she say her second name again?😂😂😂😂😂
    I was so sure she wouldn't be able to say her first name but miraculously she did it good...
    Her second name "NGOZI" in my Language kiswahili means "SKIN"

    As a person of color myself, I hate the fact that my skin color (something I'm born with) is being equated daily with some other person's personal CHOICE. This LGBTQ lie which started gaining wide popularity only in the last few decades is seriously disturbing and yes, I would personally ban such ideologies too.

      Being Black or a POC is a social identity, you are a member of a social group. Similarly, LGBTQ+ is a social identity too.
      I hate the fact that some Black people - despite experiencing the pain and oppression that comes with our social identity being stigmatized and/or marginalized in Western societies - have no qualms about stigmatizing and marginalizing other social groups like LGBTQ+.
      If you are against racism and anti-Black racism, it is both hypocritical and ignorant Not to be against homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism. You cannot be against one type of oppression, while touting and being for another form of oppression. SMH.

    I totally agree that book banning is not ideal, and I also agree that the latest series of books banning is mostly driven by the politicising of almost everything, including teaching (I would say, the indoctrination) of children in schools.
    I want to challenge Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on two points;
    1. The people who are objecting to these books in schools and public libraries do not read. This is false.
    2. I would like to know if her children attend public schools. Parents whose children attend public school know exactly what is going on.
    Finally, history should be taught properly, factually, and fully and not emotionally or politically.

      History cannot be taught without the context of politics, and emotion. The politics of deciding what is taught is emotional. And even historians have a variety of perspectives about how history should be taught. Example: historiography, the writing of history, especially the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources vs teaching facts without context. It is factual that Europeans committed genocide on multiple continents. The Myth of American Exceptionalism. The idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans but it is a lie but we continue to teach it. Which is improper by your own assertion.

    Banning books promotes the need to find out reason for which book is banned and there will be the curiousity in a good reader to find out why, hence, ban promotes the sales of book. So USA is helping the sale of the book thats banned. Its a case of no wine ,no pay. And in most cases, people that banns book don't even read it.

    In Greece, for example, the public educational system is poor. Therefore, in order to give your child the best education and knowledge, most parent have to supplement the lacks with private tutoring. Around the world, parents will need to compensate these overall failings of public education by stepping in increasingly and making sure their children have access about history, geopolitics, critical thinking, access to novels,to fiction and assuring a child becomes an educated knowledgeable person armed to be able to face the complexities of our world.
