Literature and book stores are ‘alive and well,’ says author and bookseller
#Books #Literature #MSNBC
Excellent. The school bans are ridiculous considering what kids now access online. You can’t hide the world from your kids. But you can teach your kids how to develop their own values and judgement so they can deal wisely with the world.
Let these fascist continue on with their book bans, their children are already forced to have technology in their faces, they can just research it online, will they move on to banning computers then?! Their children look at adult content online too, what are they doing about that?! The ignorance of these fascist.
Traverse City is central Michigan, it's not close enough to the bridge to be northern. Great author tho. ❤
She's right about being creative and moving. I create stories in my head. When I take my daily walks, I usually start with a story and finish it as I walk up the stairs to my house.
You'd think that internet bookstore chains would be leading the charge, getting books to children: Amazon, Half price books, Barnes and Nobles.
DeSanus contributed to this book ban nonsense. He lost to Disney. He lost to woke. His quest for national political office is sinking faster than the titanic..
My high school English curriculum was based on what was being banned in the south. If the south banned it we were gonna read it in English.

SCIENCE + MATH BOOKS = THINKING
When they say things like this, sadly, it's usually a harbinger of the end.
These people are so good.
Next thing you know,we got trump henchmens shutting down these books stores…
Taliban has their christian counterparts in U.S.A. It's the MAGA BAN.
What a joke, ‘Prove it.’ (Another ‘false flag’ for attention.). Anything for a story these days.
Parents upset about sexually explicit books in their children's elementary school libraries is NOT book banning! IT'S PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE!
Tell fascists to pound sand with bookstores.
THIS MAN IS BETTER THAN JOE
JOE IS NUTS/WHINY
KEEP THIS GUY❤❤❤
I gotta book for ya'll…"Revenge Of The Tiger" by Claude Bahls 😂
"I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with someone like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that, then literature is really performing its wonders."
~ Chinua Achebe (1930-2013), Nigerian professor, critic, and writer of novels and poetry. 🕊
Gotta keep the indoctrination going
"I read to entertain myself, to educate myself, as a way to enlighten myself–as a way to challenge my beliefs about myself."
~ LeVar Burton, American actor, director, ✍️ writer, and activist. He'll never be forgotten for his role in "Roots" by Alex Haley and his children's series "Reading Rainbow." 🌈
