#VelshiBannedBookClub

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I remember my mother, who went to Catholic schools in the 1940s, talking about books that were banned by the Catholic Church. It only made her want to read those particular books more. She and my father raised me not banning anything. If I was old enough to be interested in a particular book then I was allowed to read it. Reading and literature saved me in so many ways. I raised my children in the same fashion. When my kids wanted to listen to Eminem I didn't tell them no; we listened to his first recordings together and discussed some of the themes. The same with literature. We'd share books. I read all the Harry Potter books with my daughter. We watched many, many films together and we would critique those films together. These experiences brought us closer as a family, and fostered in my children a love of music, literature, and all the fine arts. I think it's a profound mistake to ban books.

Are you a leftist?

[@ripadipaflipa4672]

Books that are banned has always increased children’s interest in reading them. I hope this is still true

I think I've watched this movie maybe three times, and I still go back to one statement that I think is the most poignant and true statement of human nature.... "We accept the love we think we deserve." Brilliant !!!

[@mikecricket113]

Saw the movie first. Rereading now. Even as adults we can still relate to this because we lived through those times. We all deserve the best life we can allow ourselves to have. ❤

[@flugsven]

Excellent book, and dark/sweet movie.

[@rude1527]

Books that are graphically detailed and explains whats going on is not for a kid 1 year old to 16 or if the parents decide. This shouldn't even be a topic. This topic is going to be super heavy censor by YT so be careful what you say.

[@marcuswilliams2212]

This is one of my fav books there are so many themes to it them banning it is crazy.

[@Only1janetc]

I've never understood the thinking behind banning books

[@EpicAlcatraz99]

No 9 year old should read books about giving or** s**

[@AdrianColley]

Galileo's book _Siderius Nuncius_ was banned because it described his telescopic observations of moons and planets, inadvertently disproving some theories that the Catholic Church had been passing off as divine truth. They feared that people reading the book would lose respect for the Church, which would imperil their influence. It's much the same with modern book bans. "Don't you dare undermine us!"

[@BFROFFICIAL2024]

No books are banned

[@Only1janetc]

@LeftIsFascist I don't advocate giving a 9 Yr old an inappropriate book. I don't think books should be removed from library shelves. A librarian can guide people to books that are age appropriate or meet their requirements

[@EpicAlcatraz99]

@Only1janetc thats the problem. Lots of woke far left teachers are "guiding kids" to these pornographic books. Its disgusting.

I heard they were going to ban "Romeo and Juliet". I was outraged, until I found out it was the one by William Shakespeare and not Dire Straits. 🎸

Credit card debt is at record number of 1 trillion dollars. People are taking money from 401k because of Biden's Inflation. Credit card and Auto payments are more delinquent. 18% of Americans in CNN poll say Biden's economy is good. 81% say the economy is bad.

So, Jared Kushner getting paid 2 Billion from the Saudi prince is ok with you? Is the over $800 million Trump made off of taxpayers while in office ok with you? Or how about the 40 trademarks Ivanka received from China when she accompanied daddy to China? Al of that is ok, but Biden loaning his brother money and making car payment for his son when he was not in office is a crime?

To be fair, some books need to be banned. Fahrenheit 451, for example. I haven't read it, but I've heard it's highly inflammatory.
