00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:06.400
do you think the adults that band these books have

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.150
read these books? Absolutely not. Absolutely. Because

3
00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:11.169
I don't think my moral compass could let you ban

4
00:00:11.169 --> 00:00:15.029
books that say equality and loving each other hidden figures

5
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:17.640
. The movie was, you know, like from

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.489
the movie, the kids version. The book from

7
00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:22.929
the movie. After hearing their students concerns about diversity

8
00:00:22.929 --> 00:00:25.449
in the district, Hearing my struggles with race being

9
00:00:25.449 --> 00:00:29.570
an indian american and consistently feeling like I didn't belong

10
00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:32.820
After all those conversations for weeks on end, they

11
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:36.479
still pursued the sports book band. I want to

12
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.310
learn genuine history. I don't want to learn a

13
00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:42.729
whitewashed version. I want to hear all of it

14
00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.350
. I don't want to I don't want everyone to

15
00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:47.920
be worried about how we feel because no one was

16
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.390
worried about how bipac members of the community felt.

17
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.670
I have to now with this resource ban think twice

18
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.899
about whether or not I should or could use a

19
00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:03.929
James baldwin quote as an opening for my class.

20
00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:06.640
I don't want my daughter growing up feeling guilty because

21
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.170
she's white. There are teachers looking over their shoulders

22
00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:11.459
wondering if someone's gonna be at their door, darkening

23
00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:15.459
their door that you said something or you mentioned something

24
00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:18.560
or you use something that you were not supposed to

25
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.459
. Mm hmm. Mhm
