Competency #8- Multimedia

YouTube

I went to YouTube and searched for videos and Intellectual Freedom. I found this one about banned books week.



The video's URL is www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3mGlp4GT6k

Since seeing the list of the top 100 banned books from last year in a class this past summer I have been outraged by the thought of banning these books. Banning books takes away people's intellectual freedom, their freedom to choose what they want to read. If you have a problem about a book, don't read it and talk to your kids about making wise and appropriate choices when picking out books. Talk to them about why you want them reading certain books, but don't make them unavailable to everyone else!
