"Read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is."

--LeVar Burton

I wanted to repost something from each person who has reblogged my preceding toot. But there are too many of you lovelies. I can't keep up! So all I can say is:

KEEP READING!!! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ™๏ธ2๏ธโƒฃ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ

@courtcan I keep thinking that the politicians who want to ban books in schools are so out of touch they don't realize (or remember? were they ever children?) that telling a kid not to do something is one of the best ways to get them to do it.

@courtcan @arri awww we โ™ฅ๏ธ him!
@courtcan heโ€™s a national treasure

@courtcan

That statement is not original with him. The same thing, identically or near identically worded, was first made, by George Carlin as I recall. [Quite possibly many have said it.] One should be able to find placards citing it, with Carlin's picture.

Not knocking LeVar, just pointing it out so the other mentions are not forgotten.

@courtcan

Done that 15 years ago and wasted my time on banned right wing conspiracys from Jan Udo Holey.

@courtcan

I wish someone would ban my book about building a better democracy. Then it might get some attention.

#tiereddemocraticgovernance

@courtcan How โ€˜bout tooting a list of said books? Tโ€™would be appreciated!
@courtcan
Need the list of banned books so I know what to buy!
@courtcan it is laughable that they think they can ban anything in the information Age of the 21st century.
@courtcan where can I buy this shirt!?
@DrMenzMD Apparently Burton sold it on his website or somesuch, but it's sold out. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@courtcan That's why I had to read Salman Rushdie's book that brought death threats. Also it was a pretty lively read!
@courtcan Yeah I totally use bans as reading lists.
@courtcan where can I get that shirt tho
@courtcan lots of libraries around here (Denmark) has a section called โ€œbanned books around the worldโ€

Do what LeVar says, always. This is the dude who solved the Peanut Butter and Jam sandwich conundrum.
