They want to protect children, but have no problem leaving them alone with their local priests.
You have to teach the dangers of communism in Florida?! They do realise that the Cold War ended over 30 years ago right?
Well the 2nd Cold War seems to be in full swing.
I haven’t lived in Florida in like 4 years but this seems exactly right.
But everyone who disagrees with christofascists is a godless commie!
Tbh I was under the impression that was already commonly discussed in history classes ☠ Maybe that was just my experience living in a deep red state.
"I'm not banning books! I'm only completely removing any opportunity for my precious child to be influenced by sources that contradict the world view I'm trying to impose on them. It's not a ban! It's a strategic removal of opportunity! It's totally different!"
Yeah. Fuck book banning and the people who would do so.
As someone who got 90% of their books from the library, for some students the ONLY access they have to these books at their school. If you see your kid has a book you don't want them to read JUST TELL THEM TO RETURN IT AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM smh
Get em, Rachel! Can’t believe the land of “freedom and democracy” is heading in this direction
I meaaaaan the Washington state republican party literally said that they were taking a stance against democracy soooooo yeah I guess if it's up to them and other republicans it wouldn't be one lol
A fictional Nazi fighting superhero could either be really really good or really really bad. That's kinda how the genre started actually. 🐼🐻
Comics were built by some brilliant, imaginative Jewish people
@@AlishaHerbiederbie It sure was and I love them
i saw ur comment a few minutes after it was posted, i love that u edited it to add the emojis
Priorities: dangers of communism but not the danger of their country over other countries with the long history of supporting coups, wars, military dictatorships governments...
For a lot of Conservatives, "communist" means "anybody who *doesn't want* the U.S. to become an empire that subjugates other nations"
@@Mario_Angel_Medina probably they also are 'very naive' when it comes to what means fascism. They flirt with it everyday, but won't call themselves out loud.
Let's be honest they do not understand any system that is not capitalism. Socialism is just up there with communism to them but if asked they can't explain either of them. That's what you get when you limit education in order of doctrine and patriotism.
I am an LGBT+ historian in North America and to clarify with the gay side character--that whole interaction was so common during WWII. Knowing gay people existed or to even "come out" was both unheard of and a death sentence. For the gay character to tell Al anything at all meant he might have thought he was also gay ("gaydar" comes from a time period where you literally had to figure out who was also gay in a time where being out was the least safe thing you could be). They didn't have the language at the time, "gay" wouldn't be truly attributed to gay folks until after the war. There was just homosexual (nearly always derogatory) and heterosexual. Homosexual was even partially defined by beastiality at this time.
Gay people always ran the risk of being removed from their place of work, killed, or entirely rejected by society, basically, lose everything. It was also extremely common for the "known" gays to be white men. Early North American movements were run by white men who had a lot of privileges other than their sexuality. With some exceptions in the United States like Harry Hay who was a socialist and being tracked by the government for being a communist spy basically his entire life, they were often pretty racist guys. In the United States, black gay men were welcome, but not really. In the accounts of them trying to join early gay (also known as homophile at the time) movements tells us how extremely uncomfortable they were and the covert racism they faced at meetings and the overt racism that was done behind their backs. So that interaction was... extremely historically accurate. That is how it would have been at the time. In fact, Al had a pretty mild reaction just given what you've said. Historically speaking, it should have gone a lot worse.
There's a book that focuses on the American comic book industry during the same time period that has a tragic, but very realistic depiction of being gay. It's a parallel story to the creators of superman with a lot more drama thrown in. It's: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (I think that's how the last name is spelled?). It's been awhile since I read it, but to my memory it's pretty alright. The history stuff is pretty accurate, especially the gay stuff, despite how tragic it is.
you can just ask the librarians to not let your kids check out certain books. My parents asked my librarians to not let me check out any books for my first week of school. They were fine with it. But of course they dont care what their kids are reading, they care what all the kids are reading.
Why the first week?
@@roselover411 they wanted me to make friends, and they thought that if it was just hanging out in the library during all my free time, I wouldn't meet anyone new. I mean, it was true
@@Ceruleansquid-lo3iv but how would you meet the book friends if you weren't allowed to be in the library right away? XD
to be fair to them, I definitely did not need to spend any more time in the library than I did and they didn't care what I read as long as i wasn't doing it instead of talking to people. neurodivergency for the win I guess.
"Age appropiate" books are such an alien concept to me. I feel like everybody on my life who ever cared in the slightest about reading all had a "sink or swim" attitude towards Literature. The whole idea of parents shielding kids from the parts of life they don't approve is such a ridiculously futile thing to do
If book banners are so proud of what they are doing, why do they word game around what they're doing. The world may never know.🦉
If parents aren’t paying attention to what their kids are bringing home from school or the library need to be punted. I had a lot of freedom as a child, but my mom still knew what I was reading. I was reading Stephen King and Anne Rice when I was 12. Heck, Thomas Harris was a favorite (still is). But no other kid my age was reading anything about Hannibal Lector. Yeah, I’m sensing a theme here. Still rings true. Heck, I read Relic and Reliquary when I was 11, I believe.
🐻❄
I do what I can for the libraries in my community. Whenever I unhaul books I give them to my local public library.
I wasn't even this early to my own child's birth
Me neither
@@ReadswithRachel I also made my dumb joke comment before even reading the title. Given how serious the subject of this video is, I'm kind of embarrassed. So I just want to say you've got at least one person all the way over in Norway who is rooting for your cause. The shift in definitions is always one of the reddest flags, imo.
Omg don’t be embarrassed at all, I’m glad you’re here!
@@ReadswithRachel MILF
Talk about choosing the bear 🐻
Also, I really like The Book Thief.
Death is such an inspiration in that book. The best parts are just focused on him.
One of my favorites is Persepolis, but I'd bet you've already read it❤
i watched the movie recently and i cried, so now i have to re read it
Do you know what happened if I brought home a book from the library my parents didn’t want me to read? They told me they didn’t want me reading it yet (the giver, and the uglies series) my mom went with me to the public library and we talked to the librarians together about what books they recommended for my age and reading level. If I read something I didn’t understand, my parents talked to me about it, they fostered a love of reading and learning that gave me the freedom to do so, and to come to them if I needed help. I was assigned where the read fern grows in 4th grade. I talked to my mom about it because it was the first book that scared me, and made me cry (and still haunts me) and my mom talked to me about it, talked to my teacher about it, and I read it, and while I didn’t particularly like it, I’m glad I read it and got that experience out of the way.
Loved to see you chatting about graphic novels - would definitely love to see more! 🐻❄
Yay, thank you!
If you're interested in checking out more Margaret Atwood graphic works based on early comics vibes, she also wrote the Angel Catbird series.
It's not a graphic novel, but I thought I'd mention a historical fiction book set in Korea that really spoke to me when I was in grade school. It's called Year of Impossible Goodbyes by Sook Nyul Choi, and it's the story of a girl called Sookan and her family, navigating Korea during and after WW2. It deals with Japanese occupation and oppression of Koreans, the introduction of Communism to North Korea and the eventual split into North/South Korea.
It remains one of my favourite children's books, and I loved it when I was young because it was heavy and sad and I had never read anything else about that part of the world at that point in my life.
I've had Banned Book Club on my tbr for quite some time. I'm happy you liked it! 🐻
The thing about banning books from school libraries is that kids are no longer allowed to read them in school at all. So even if their parents do provide them copies of the books on the ban list, if a teacher sees them reading their own copy, it can be confiscated. So banning it from a school library bans it from being in the school at all. And then if kids get it from a public library, then these same people will get upset and demand they remove it from there also. It never stops where they say it does.
It's not related to graphic novels, but I think you might like to look at Memoirs of a Bookbat by Kathryn Lasky. It was a favorite of mine as a kid, and it's about a kid with fundamentalist parents who secretly reads books they disapprove of. It's basically the bookbanners' worst nightmare written as a good thing--a kid reads what she wants without her parents realizing, doesn't agree with their ideology, and escapes the life they had planned for her. It meant a lot to me as a weird reader kid growing up in a conservative town with a parent who drifted in and out of different ideologies but always disapproved of contradiction.
This graphic novel isn't historical but Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is amazing and I think you said in another video you already have Maus? Which is also amazing so if you didn't say that, I recommend it. Also after typing all this out, I'm realizing that neither of these is fiction...i still recommend them tho 😅
Perfect timing, about to make dinner and Rachel drops 😁
“Debby Cun- I mean Debby Hunt.” Ate her uppp 🤣
🐻 Honestly, Orsonnette would be a superhero I could very much get into.
The library in my area doesn't accept books because they have way too many already. So I'm very proud of the people who live near me, especially my neighbour who offered to gift me some books after our second meeting (she's really great in general, but I feel bad being gifted things so that's always a no from me).
Historical Fiction Graphic Novel? Magneto: Testament. Yes, Magneto from the X-Men. The book barely shows any powers - the author and illustrator didn't want to imply Magneto's survival was due to his powers. But it follows kid Magneto from the rise of the Nazi regime through his teenaged years, the loss of his family, his time in Auschwitz, meeting Magda (Romani woman who was his first wife), and all the horrors he suffered. It's beautifully written and illustrated, and makes me cry every time. The hardcover edition comes with a discussion guide and teaching guide at the back, along with an interview with the author about how he worked out the story, and the choices he made in giving Magneto the past he did. I recommended it to my school librarian not long after it came out (I teach in a public high school), but I never did find out if it was purchased.
🐻 Just discovered your channel. Great reviews, also appreciate your coverage of book banning & encouraging people to oppose it.
I highly recommend Lary Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe books -- going from the big bang to World War II in a very simplified summary of history and historical events that includes Africa and China, which you don't often see talked about in general history books. They're funny, and while they don't go into depth, I think it's a fun, mildly educational read. :bear:
Rachel I need you to pls cover an ep of rina kent on authors behaving badly lol, and some of them ‘dark romance’ writers too
Not a historical fiction but Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is an autobiographical graphic novel about the author's childhood during the Islamic Revolution. It was very insightful and a good read over all.
"I'm not banning books! All I want to do is *DISCRIBES BOOK BANNING IN GRAPHIC DETAIL*"
