I will never understand people’s need to burn books 📚 in an effort to prevent other people from reading certain books 📚!
If a person doesn’t want to read a certain book, then fine, don’t read it. But don’t then decide what other people should read on their behalf by burning books!
Additionally, the books that had been burned were public library books! These books are paid for with taxpayer money!! So, I personally found it rude/disturbing/insulting that the man mentioned in the above video burned public library books when it's taxpayers, like us who, pay for these books.
The above video is short and worth watching. The library discussed how it was handling the situation.
P. S. Not sure why the video isn't showing up in my post??? Maybe I can find another version of the video on YouTube?
Burning books is a disgusting practice unless they are just so tattered as to no longer be readable. Banning books is just stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is beyond bizarre!! I feel like we're currently living in some sort of dystopian reality right now.
DeleteYup... Disgusting is *exactly* the word I'd use too. Burning LIBRARY books makes it worse... If that's possible!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so frustrating to read this kind of news about book burnings. It seems like we're hearing more and more about book banning here in the USA.
