I’m very glad you’ve spoken out about it so much! I think the quiet censorship is horrid–books are just removed without us knowing, and the kids and teens just don’t get them.

The topic is one I’ve voiced concerns over for years, especially the quiet censorship that goes on that we’re barely even aware of. You’ve done a wonderful video and it’s a pleasure to be able to share it with others.
