In this episode, Carmen and Rachel talk about what authors think about the books that are challenged. We want to know how you feel about challenging books. And any opinion is safe here. When you listen to us, you can expect to hear our opinions, but your opinions matter, too. It is this ability to discuss issues openly and honestly that brings understanding, empathy, and the ability to compromise. Compromise doesn’t mean that both sides lose, it means that both sides win. We really appreciate all of you, your thoughts, and beliefs, and we hope that you extend this same respect to others. Even those with whom you do not agree.
Let us know how you feel about challenged and banned books, and your thoughts on how the author has reacted.

In this episode, Carmen and Rachel are talking about banned books. But, more specifically, those books that are most challenged in the high school years, and why. Let us know how you feel about books on booklists being challenged. And it’s okay if you don’t agree with us. This discussion needs to be held in way that is respectful and adult.
Continue to check us out on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.
If you are against banning books, please take to social media, write letters, and, just in general, be that greasy wheel. We cannot let those who have yet to form an opinion think that the challengers are the only vocal ones.
And remember, Stephen Chbosky, author of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”, said, “Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.”
