I'm sure this is a sentiment that LeVar Burton agrees with but it is important to recognize this image is photoshopped. Here's the original

True

💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

true

A truth of history that is sadly ignored.

Awesome post. Thanks for sharing.

Absofuckinglutely 👍

For the first time in my life, I can say I’m with the band. Band books that is!

You now have a dictator. Not a president. Unfortunately he is a spineless, cowardly paedophile.

So were the other two in this picture.

Very true. Banning books is a danger sign.

Absolutely

True dat, David. Never in the annals of man(woman) kind!

Yep…and the guy taking food and health care away from children…is the antihero dressed in black

And how!

🎵Take a look, it's in a book...🎵

Levar Burton is an American hero

Honestly if this quote were truly lived we probably wouldn’t even have red states

Word.

Reading Books is a certainly Good way to Increase Knowledge. but, Please do not worship the North korean Dictator & Tyranny. He has murdered so many innocent North korean People who Agree with My Democratic Opinions.

Amen!

Cats don't read books they nap on them

C’est vrai

They want to erase history!😡😡😡

The question is, what if it's Mein Kampf being banned? Or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or slavery-supporting tracts from the bad old days? Not taking a side (or trying to be offensive in any way) here, just trying to think through a difficult scenario.

Often 'they' use those books as a ruse, then lump in books like the diary of Anne Frank, or anything they perceive as un-christian, etc...

I don’t even think there is a problem with any of those I think certain books should be restricted for the same reason movies are like I don’t think kids should read Needful Things for instance because there are things in there that could never legally even be shown in a movie

That book is so pertinent to today's grifter in the White House.

Oh? I haven’t finished reading it yet, pretty good book so far just don’t think it’s good for children, I’ll have to see by the end.

I think things should just have advisory labels on them like music, games, and movies.

Some people should as well.

Agreed.

This question is often asked in bad faith because people think they are being clever and/or are trying to set you up. But the answer is simple. The books do not get banned.

You can fuck right off clown.

Since I blocked the asswipe I can only imagine what stupidity ensued.

Funny. Was thinking the same thing about some guy you responded to. Basically said I had "an agenda" asking the question.

The only thing MAGA is good at is projection.

Don't think it was actually MAGA. I'm suspecting a ton of bots are getting in here under the guise of left leaners trying to stir shit. Sadly, a lot of even democrats fall for it and it creates even more stupid infighting particularly along semi-imaginary centrist-liberal fault lines.

I agree and I think it was a bot. The artificiality of sentence structure gives it away.

Im sure it's easy to take advantage of because a lot, maybe all, of us are ready to go off at each other over nothing. I'm guilty of it myself.

Wow. What about my comment set you off?

Along with Das Kapital, the Koran, the Torah. Who makes a choice where the line in the sand should be?

Therein lies the rub I suppose.

He's not wrong...

How appropriate 💯👍👏

This man is correct. Books allow people to learn. Banning books helps ensure people can't learn.

GOP, banning books but keeping the importance of EPSTEIN/TRUMP LEGACY ALIVE. I MEAN SECRET. I MEAN CONFIDENTIAL. I MEAN HIDDEN. I MEAN....

I love to read and collect books. I used to buy & donate to the schools but since 2016 Ive been buying large quantities of books at the Goodwill and resale stores because of some nagging in my psyche.I have purchased almost every book on banned books lists. I hate I feel the need to do this. WTF

Truth.

wow is this real

I wish I were LeVar Burton.

So true, so relevant

Nazi book burning. He tricked his people just like Trump.

The only reason someone would want to ban books/access to knowledge is when they want people to become stupid and compilation so that they can run all over them

I feel like that's how a lot of the internet is designed...

Hmm, how about banning the Trump for profit Bibles?

I’m for that.

Geordi!

I see books that I don’t agree with nor care about but I don’t want them banned. I just choose the books I prefer. Banning books is similar to the Epstein files. What are they trying to keep you from discovering?

Feeling the rainbow

How does he look the exact same age as when I was a kid just with white hair and beard?!

Yeah, you read my mind. Sigh....

@levarburton.bsky.social 📖💞

So true. It is almost like a hey want us to be ignorant so we ask no questions. 😏

Do you mean Gavin Newsome when he banned the books in California?

Newsom didn’t ban books—he blocked schools from removing them

I've blocked the Troll you're responding to....

Truth...

Unless it’s the Necronomicon, then not really.

They’re really not.

So so true!!

And there never will be.

"Hello, Margaret. This is God. Plug your filthy, sinful womanhood, and go live in a cave for a week. Thanks."

SARCASM, people.

Vote every single conservative, from city/county level on up - to the STREET!

Conservatism is now a personality disorder.

Amen.

👍

👏👏👏👏👏AMEN

So true.
