This message is consistent with the message from Mr. Burton for decades now: to encourage a love of books and reading. Thank you
Mr. Burton indeed!
Global icon!
He will always be Geordie to me.
@@ForAnAngel In other words, "I need to be entertained"...
@@ForAnAngel Georgie was a nice geek hero. Mr. Burton is not so far from this.
@@ForAnAngel His name is Toby, I mean Kunta Kinte.
This. Is. PERFECTION. I would totally throw money at something involving LeVar reading banned books to kids.
Yes! I loved reading rainbow, I hope he makes a UA-cam channel or some service sets up a show for him to read to kids again, especially banned books. He’s so entertaining & does voices for each character.
@@TreebeardsHome he has a podcast
So, what's the name of Levar Burton's "banned" podcast. LOL!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😁😄😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 Sorry, couldn't resist.
Levar Burton Reads is a great podcasts, if you're interested. Though, it's not just banned books or just for kids
I've always loved Levar Burton's youthful wonder in the roles he's played (especially Geordie on "Star Trek"). Seeing him thumb his nose at intolerance is my favorite role yet!
Yah, Levar's da man. Coolest cat in ST and genuine, humane human being.
When the “police” showed up, that would have been time for the phaser.
@@Chunkboi Don't us give ideas... We can finally decide to invade!!!
@@fabricioazevedo2361 from where?
And then he turns out to be racist and intolerant, himself. Such a massive shame.
Can't look and Geordie the same now.
We need more Levars in the world!! he still has the bright eyes when talking about books that he had when i watched "reading rainbow' growing up.... I CAN DO ANYTHING..TAKE A LOOK...ITS IN A BOOK...
Levar Burton comes across as the most likable person in the world. He should be a diplomat or something. He would rock peace negotiations the same way Mr Rogers rocked the Senate!
They should put stickers on the books: "Banned in state of X, Y, Z". Nothing gets someone more curious than a taboo or something forbidden.
Our libraries where I live do have gold medallion stickers on the covers of banned books, embossed with the words “read banned books”.
This man is STILL my biggest hero!!!
I have loved LeVar Burton since he was in Roots in the 1970’s and in Star Trek TNG. He looks great.
Bless you for doing this, sir! I grew up on Reading Rainbow (and frankly, you're the reason I started watching Star Trek: The Next Generation!). LeVar Burton changed my life, and I love him so much.
same!! I still sing the theme song on sunny days!!
Entered a writing contest as a kid once and received a letter signed by Mr. Burton 😊 ...informing me I had not won, but STILL!
@@deenadamico2673 gonna sound dorky, totally would have framed it or even laminated the letter🙂🙂
I miss you Mr. Burton you were there for me when I was a kid. And I wish the program is still around for my own son. Already ahead of ya reading banned books to my son. Govt can't stop me from reading to my own son.
Just so you know, Reading Rainbow will be back on the air this year. Unfortunately, LeVar Burton is not in it, but it is supposed to have a diverse cast of people, so perhaps that may be something you want to check out for your son. 🙂
Levar Burton is a national treasure.
He was our friend growing up 😊
Was he racist back then too?@lapinchechismosa
@@GussieBabes nope, that was your parents 🤡
@@GussieBabes why don’t you move back to Europe?
@@GussieBabes your yt fragility is showing
I mean, I watched this bit on the main video, already, but I'll watch it again because it's awesome.

LeVar Burton you were my first story teller I remember from my childhood. Reading rainbown was the only time someone would read to me and didnt not make it feel like a chore. I read beacuse of you and passed that love down to my children and those I have cared for over the year.
Thank you Daily Show and Levar Burton. We all need to push back against these book bans! There is valuable learning being squashed in the name of small-mindedness.
How can so many people miss Reading Rainbow? It showcased all types of age appropriate books to kids. I was very ahead in reading...so I read stuff I definitively should not have.
LeVar and a couple other guys did set up a Kickstarter a few years back to bring back Reading Rainbow in a new format. The suits that own the copyrights/trademarks/whatever for RR weren't fully on board, and the project pretty much fizzled.
Businessmen ruin a lot of things in this world.
@@MMuraseofSandvich It's coming back this year. 😉
Read the bible
Nothing is wrong with the age appropriate books. I do not believe they would allow him to read one of these books that are being removed from school librarys though.
Absolutely LOVE this message from the great Levar Burton ❣️ He's never given up on his Reading Rainbow roots that I grew up with
Even “Mein Kampf” is not banned in Germany.... and believe it or not, this one is reeaally offensive. To understand this World view and to prevent events like the Holocaust to ever happen again, it should be read for educational purposes. Critical thinking is one of the most important skills in these chaotic and uncertain days.
That's like the one book other than the Bible these conservatives will definitely avoid banning...
I do share your opinion, but "Mein Kampf" is actually a pretty bad example as it was banned from being reprinted until 2016 so you could only get already exsting antiques. It was a little bit of a mess...
@@MMuraseofSandvich facts
@@MMuraseofSandvich nah, they’d ban the Bible too, especially since it condones abortion (Exodus) and those pesky left-wing values (the gospels). It’s also very anti-Trump (“Get thee behind me, Satan.”).
@@Chunkboi Conservatives in the U.S would also ban the bible, if they had their way.
I grew up with that amazing man! I was dyslexic and had a difficult time with reading compression and couldn't read out loud. He brought the joy of reading to a girl who hated it. - Dr. Pam 💚
I absolutely LOVE that they have this section with Levar Burton. I’ve been a lifelong fan- I grew up with Reading Rainbow and then watched him for years on Star Trek. Now he’s advocating building knowledge and understanding through reading again. Great job, Daily Show! Read banned books!
Anyone else hoping he was actually going to read us a story?
Yes.
Yes! I would really love a banded book series.
That why I clicked. I was hoping it was a new series.
He does have a podcast....LeVar Burton Reads
Absolutely! The nostalgia is real. I swear, every time I hear this man's voice, I am transported back in time. 📖🌈❤️
❤️ u Levar! Definitely an unsung American hero. Knowledge is power and understanding is the key to unlocking compassion for one another.
I love Levar Burton so much! He made a huge impression on me as a kid. I grew up watching Reading Rainbow and spent a lot of time in Libraries! Now I am a librarian who reads banned books! ❤️ 📚
Amazes me how these Republicans, with their child like minds, don't get it. Tell people what not to read, makes them want to read it even more.
I'd read every book ban by my state of the US government by the age of 12. That logic actually applies to all things. No one ever didn't do something because it was illegal but nearly everyone eventually breaks the jaw because it's illegal.
Ironically they want to ban what people read but won't wear a mask in the name of "freedom"
@@CactusJack252 Well, not quite. Republicans don't want to wear masks AND they will tear masks off of other people who are wearing them.
You are way too optimistic about humans. Most of us don't like reading, unless it's as long as a TikTok.
@@CactusJack252 Masks are UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS WELL AS FORCED "EXPERIMENTAL CLOT SHOTS!"
Absolutely love how LeVar shows his love of books and reading!
I love Levar Burton.
POWERFUL message!
My millenniums grew up enjoying Reading Rainbow (I was there enjoying reading right along with them 💯😀). Reading is almost as rare as a white rhino. When a book is banned, it's probably a book THAT SHOULD be read!
One has to ask why are certainly books being banned in the first place, what the hidden agenda of those who want to ban said books, and who stands to gain by the books banned?
Censorship? 1st amendment?!
Thanks for this Trevor AND LeVar.
This man ages beautifully!
Levar is the reason many people my age love books so much. Thank you for this message. If you want information to spread, ban a book. If a book is banned, read that book. Find out WHY people want that book banned. Arm yourself with knowledge.
I loved reading rainbow even though I was watching it with kids as it was past my time. Plus I really love star trek. This is spot on I saw it and knew that he must be outraged at the banning of books.
Please, more videos with Levar Burton!! Just amazing 😁
P.S. Happy birthday to Levar!🍾
Love this man!

I love that he is so him! And thats why he has been doing this for so long, authentication is the key! Keep pushing and teaching brother! Shalom ✌🏾 🌈
First thank you LeVar Burton for helping to instill a love for reading in my children and myself I feel you should be honored by the all the parents of the US for this job and thank you Noah for once again using show to highlight the injustice of racism against all children and adults alike
One of mine favorites is "The Nativity" by Julie vivas

I'm white, but I believe Jesus, Mary and Joseph had some nice color.
Take a look, it’s in banned books; the Reading Rainbow (Coalition to read banned books).
You win
I love you, Mr. Burton! Reading Rainbow was sooo awesome!
Mr Burton you are a treasure and I consider myself blessed to have grown up with you.
I love this so much. Thanks Geordi!
Thank you, Mr. Burton.
I am waiting for Maus to be back in stock.
Buy banned books!
Read banned books!
Reading Lawn Boy right now. It's great. And banned. Just finished, The Hate You Give. Also highly recommended. Read banned books!
Reading Rainbow was my jam when I was a kid. A big thanks to Mr. Burton for encouraging literacy for his entire career. The work you have been doing has immense value. Please keep it up!
Reading "Band Books" is the new Required Reading in my house! Went out and bought as many "Banned Books" as I could find. I'll be searching for the rest and will not stop searching for them until I find them. I've even bought a few copies to give away to others!
I was just listening to Levar's podcast!!! I love this man so much!!!
I love this 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Rad that he is honest and does it in a way that is so easy for some people to maybe try to understand.
WE LOVE YOU LEVAR!!! 💫And thank you Trevor 🙏
Here's a man who has done more than the grand majority of people in the entertainment industry to earn the peoples' respect. I'm glad to see Mr. Burton offer the proverbial "bird" to the thought police establishment and to urge free access to challenging and--gasp--potentially offensive (suibversive?) ideas.
Congratulations to Mr. Burton for his lifetime achievement award. His family is one lucky bunch.
Yes! Read banned books!
I had to laugh 😂😂😂 the message is clear you heard him read band books 😂
Mr. Burton is a great human being.
I love you’re username and profile picture lol
A national treasure. And he just keeps getting better with age. Thank you, sir!
Butterfly in the sky I can fly twice as high!! I looove Lavar Burton In all seriousness though this book ban is in constitutional !?!
Historyua-cam.com/video/cPPP7aP_ebU/v-deo.html..kk.
YES YES YES
I can go twice as hiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhh
Read banned books! 🤣
It's so great to see Geordie returning to his roots on reading rainbow. I feel like a kid again.
Well done. 🤣
mr. burton should read all the banned books and upload to youtube. i loved reading rainbow growing up.
Excellent idea!
I couldn't smile any bigger, seeing Levar Burton's face
Love the message
Love that. Love you, Levar.
This is 1984 in real life. Except instead of burning books, the books considered divisive or causes discomfort to a certain group in the country are being banned.
Wait how and who dictates these banning? Can we have that segment?
This was great:)
At first I thought that was Noah on the thumbnail edited to look older than he actually is 😂🖤
Historyua-cam.com/video/cPPP7aP_ebU/v-deo.html..k.kkk
I STILL TO THIS DAY SAY KNOCKING BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!! I get teased for it at work, when I’m around the 20 year olds. WE’RE SHOWING OUR AGE LAVAR!!!!!!! You look great, Love you so much brother, One of my childhood hero’s.
And Tango Makes Three is one of my childhood favorites and I literally can't think of a reason for it to be banned other than straight-up homophobia. Maybe they should just ban every book in which any person has any relationship ever.
I randomly grabbed that book from the library for my daughter and it is adorable! I agree that homophobia is the only reason to ban such an adorable story.
Funny they didn't have the Bible, Cat in the Hat (yes, that book is banned in certain places) or Steven Orwell's 1984. Really funny since Rosa is on the shelf in the library in the elementary school that I work in.
Amen and I love you, Mr. Burton!!! 🎶 *#ReadingRainbow**!* 🎵🥰
Also, I'm glad to see you looking healthy. I heard you and Troy were captured by pirates while sailing the *Childish Tycoon.* 🤣😂🤣 #Community #SixSeasonsAndAMovie *#AndAMovie**!* 🙏🏽
Strange that the same people that want to ban books take their wisdom from a book they declared holy [and place it everywhere] but that one clearly not written with children in mind...
Really? Last time i checked, the bible is banned in School libraries but go on.
Am taking his advice 😁
Historyua-cam.com/video/cPPP7aP_ebU/v-deo.html..k.kkk
Instead of banning books maybe people should read books with their children.Then they could discuss them. My father did this with me and taught me lessons about kindness, honesty, decency. I am a faithful Presbyterian, but I learned more about real Christianity fro my father than I ever learned anywhere else. Miss you daddy.
That just continues to make the world better!
Levar is the best
I love Geordi LaForge in all his multiversal variants.
I LOVE LEVAR BURTON! Reading rainbow was my childhood and for me to love reading even more! Also I ❤ Star Trek! And he's ONLY THE BEST ENGINEER EVER!
The banning of books only serves to hold us back from learning. It's one thing to have cautionary pretext on hotly debated political topics in books or books from the perspective of objectively horrible people in history, as that can help guide easily persuaded readers and support critical thinking skills, but banning books, and even burning them as some have suggested, makes us no better than the dictatorships and cults we usually oppose. Same goes for any form of media that can be used to educate.
Thanks Levar! Super video!
Levar remains a wonderful man.
Levar : my hero at 6 years old and at 36 years old! Still killin’ it!
"It's in a book , so take a look..."
Brilliant!!!
Awesome! This is why I like Levar Burton.
I could not love this more. Awesome!
May this man never die.
Levar Burton is the perfect person to deliver this message. Not just because he was the star of _Reading Rainbow,_ but also because he came to fame by starring in _Roots,_ a TV mini-series based on a banned book!
Mr.B we still love you out here in NY!
I didn't do well in school. In short, serious family problems.
I bought a GED book, read it and took a test to get into the military.
I dont remember which was which regarding a GED test and the military exam.
I scored 89% on one and 91% on the other.
The recruiting officer spoke to my teachers wanting to know why my school grades were so bad when I scored so well on those two tests.
Honestly speaking, they concluded I was insane.
They didn't believe that I read a book.
I learned a thing or two from that experience.
1.) Reading books gives me insane powers!
2.) The next book to be banned by Republicans might be a GED book.
A side note.
My mother suffered from many medical issues and died at 53. She was taking lots of meds.
I wanted to join the military for the GI bill education benifits to become a pharmacist.
I wanted to be a pharmacist to be knowledgeable about the meds my mother was taking. I suspected it was the meds causing her medical problems.
I wanted to be a pharmacist to save my mother's life!
I will never forgive my teachers or that recruiter for concluding that I must be insane and not believing me when told them that I read a book.
I love him
Bless you man.
Faust by Goethe was a remarkable book that was banned and hard to find until I was an adult. Same with Ulysses by James Joyce.Two wonderful contributions to literature that were banned by religious zealots of their day.
Just when we thought we couldn’t love Levar any more!!!!!
Levar, your Attitude is adorable!
OH MY GOSH! This is wonderful!
I ❤️ this man.
The best PSA. Long live Lavar!
I LOVE Mr. Burton!
Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us😚😚
Like perhaps the stark reality that these obvious fascists are making themselves look absurd, and hopefully this will inspire the world to de-platform them and they will no longer be in control of information?

My favorite Podcast is Le Var Burton Reads.
Butterfly in the sky...
Excellent
After watching this I looked up a list of just some and was freaking shocked! Even Where's Waldo and the freaking Lorax!
Thank you.
Hearing Levar curse just seems so wrong but I’m totally here for it 😂😂
... but we don't have to take his word for it.
Please keep those podcasts coming.
Levar looks incredible.
