Voices: Reading age-appropriate books about sexual assault would have helped me as a kid. Today’s students deserve better. “Protecting kids and teens from discussions about sex is not saving them from assaults. And books are not causing the assaults,” writes Shannon Hale in an op-ed. “But books can aid in clarifying what ...

Trump Book Ban Controversy: Native American History Removed from National Parks http://reallykarel.com/YesterdayTrump Book Ban Controversy: Native American History Removed from National ParksDonald Trump is facing growing backlash after reports that books about Native American history have been flagged for removal from visitor centers at Redwood National and State Parks. Critics say the move raises serious questions about censorship, historical revisionism, and whether political power is being used to reshape how Americans understand their own past.On today’s episode of The Karel Show, Karel examines the controversy surrounding the reported book bans and what it could mean for the future of historical education in the United States.According to reports, several books focusing on Native American history and culture have been flagged inside park visitor centers. The books include titles such as “We Are the Land” by Damon B. Atkins and William J. Bauer, “California Through Native Eyes” by William J. Bauer Jr., “Adopted by Indians” by Thomas Jefferson Mayfield, and “We Are Dancing for You” by Cutcha Risling Baldy.Supporters of the books say they help visitors understand the deep and complex history of Indigenous tribes in California. Critics of the reported removals argue that removing these works risks erasing uncomfortable truths about how Native Americans were treated throughout U.S. history.But that’s not the only controversy dominating the headlines.Trump has also drawn criticism after comments about housing and development in the Pacific Palisades, raising concerns about whether low-income housing could be excluded from future rebuilding efforts.Meanwhile, global tensions continue to rise as war escalates overseas and Americans increasingly question the direction of U.S. leadership.So the larger question becomes:Can political power rewrite history—and who decides what future generations are allowed to learn?On today’s episode, Karel dives into the politics of censorship, the battle over historical truth, and why these debates are becoming central to the American culture war.⸻The Karel Show is independent political commentary from broadcaster Charles Karel Bouley II, delivering bold analysis on politics, culture, and global events.New episodes stream Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.Support the show:patreon.com/reallykarelSubscribe on YouTube:youtube.com/reallykarelThe Karel Show is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Spreaker.Karel broadcasts from Las Vegas with his Parson’s Terrier Ember (#EmberDoes_Vegas).#Trump, #BookBan, #BookBans, #NativeAmericanHistory, #IndigenousHistory, #RedwoodNationalPark, #USPolitics, #PoliticalCommentary, #FreeSpeech, #Censorship, #AmericanHistory, #CultureWars, #HistoricalTruth, #NativeAmerican, #IndigenousRights, #BreakingNews, #PoliticalAnalysis, #NewsCommentary, #CurrentEvents, #HousingPolicy, #PacificPalisades, #USNews, #PoliticsToday, #IndependentMedia, #PoliticalPodcast, #Podcast, #TheKarelShow, #USGovernment, #HistoryMatters, #EmberDoes_Vegashttps://youtube.com/live/4oT90hipJRU

Oh good. America is exporting stupidity.

Alberta's rightwing culture warriors purge library shelves of graphic novels. Dan Clowes, Frank Miller, Alison bechdel, Maia Kobabe (of course), etc. Included is Crumb's GENESIS! Hilarious! God's Word is inappropriate for kids!

The federal government should not decide what your kids are allowed to read.

Oppose the Federal Book Ban bill!

In my cover story for @arktimes.bsky.social, I profiled the formerly / currently incarcerated on reading behind bars as #Arkansas weighs a sweeping #bookban. Favorite titles? How did they order and store books & find quiet space to read? They say books were a profound way to rebuild their lives.

Everyone should be concerned about bills that conflate LGBTQ+ identities with the sexualisation of children.

This a book ban.

If you want to see cis, het, Conservative, white, Western bias and privileged engendered (not an accidental use of words) in the legal apparatus 👇

Facing a mental health crisis, an NJ school pulled a beloved novel from English class Junot Díaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was removed from an English class at the public school. PEN America says it's part of a trend of scrubbing literature dealing with uncomfortable topic...

www.npr.org/2026/02/20/n...

PEN America what we've seen in this book ban crisis is the creep to ban anything that makes people uncomfortable. Now, we have many books that have been removed that talk about grief, about death, substance abuse, about suicide." #bookban #southorange #maplewood

An ongoing issue today that Belen Books is staunchly against is the banning of books. There is a no greater threat to any society than to ban the written word because the contents inside makes an individual 'Uncomfortable.' This word is a subtle guise for Oppression. Stand up! #bookban #library #ALA
