Well, howdy there internet people? It's Boa Gunn. So today we're going to talk about what Barbara

Striseand can teach the Matanusus who sit in a school district in Alaska.

There were photos taken of her house.

She didn't want them public.

So she fought to keep them quiet. All that did was make people curious about them, increased

interest in them, made more people want to see them.

Last night on a live see them.

Last night on a live stream, was asked a question I get asked a lot.

I was asked for reading recommendations.

I never have a good answer because I read a lot and I

think most books have something in them that can enrich your life. That's the

purpose of literature to expose you to different things. I've got a list now thanks to that school district. If you

have not read the Great Gatsby Invisible Man catch 22 the things they carried or

I know why the cage bird sings.

Please start there.

They are good books, all of them.

This school district has banned instruction of them. Can't be taught about in their schools because they

have uncomfortable themes. Yeah they do. They do. That's the point of literature to expose you to different things, to make

you a better person. Arguably, that's the job of a school too.

Literature like this that covers uncomfortable themes.

It creates a population that can distinguish facts from fiction, that can critically think for themselves.

If we had a population who had been exposed to literature like this, read it, took its heart, had some instruction on it.
