The Daily Show with Trevor Noah published this video item, entitled “Why Are So Many Books Being Banned? – Beyond the Scenes | The Daily Show” – below is their description.
Books are being banned from schools and public libraries at alarming rates, and stories from LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors are disproportionately being pulled from shelves. How do book bans harm learning and access to information? What do these challenges say about the American educational system? Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom and George M. Johnson, author of the widely challenged book “All Boys Aren’t Blue” join host Roy Wood Jr. to break down where these book bans are coming from, the political ideology behind them, and how these banned books can help young readers understand complex issues. #DailyShow #Podcast #BeyondTheScenes
