LeVar Burton appeared on The Daily Show to point out the ridiculousness of many of the banned books. With calls for book bans spiking this school year, Noah noted the motive behind these challenges may not be all that serious for fragile young minds.
Noah said that the request to ban a book about a First Lady is more about ginning up a culture war than protecting kids. I don't care what anyone says.
In a short skit, Burton tries to read to his viewers but is unsuccessful as each picture book he chooses is banned. Going through Rosa, And Tango Makes Three, and Hop on Pop, Burton is frustrated at being unable to find a child.
They adopted the baby, Burton exclaimed, reacting to objections about And Tango Makes Three's male penguin couple. A mother and father penguin so the kids can make sure the penguins don't knock boots?
The good stuff is where the banned books are.
