Customer Reviews
Thank you for promoting literacy and representation
I was so excited to find this podcast. I was educated in Clay County where a man from Long Island has caused so many books to be removed from shelves.
When I went to school 30 years ago every book was by a white author, and I only ever saw one Black teacher in my schools, and she taught an elective.
I hoped this would be better by now, but it’s like we’ve cycled back to 1990.
I love hearing all these beautiful stories that represent the full breadth of humanity.
Bigotry will never win.
Protect the Children! Let them read!
Everyone who wants to protect all children from the Moms for Bigotry attempts to control what they can learn, should listen and support this podcast.
Smart commentary and review of banned books and the latest shenanigans the “Moms” are up to.
Spot on!
Don’t mind the one star reviewer who obviously failed to read the description (much like the book banners who have never read a book). This is a great podcast. I wish there didn’t need to be more of these podcasts, but please keep shedding light on some great books.
