When liberals cite racism in their effort to cancel certain Dr. Seuss books, former Reading Rainbow host LeVar Burton voices his approval. When conservatives try to regulate which books appear in school libraries, he appears on Tuesday’s edition of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to do a skit about how logic would dictate conservatives ban C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and even restaurant menus with chicken strips.
In the skit, Burton sits down with a group of children to discuss why certain books have been challenged. While he mocks conservative challenges, blurbs appear on screen to inform the viewers that what Burton is talking about is real. For example, “Why did they ban this book? Harriet the Spy. Why would anyone want to ban Harriet the Spy? Because it encourages spying.”
It’s a big country, there are going to be some people…
