About
"A powerful photo essay on transgender teens is called anti-religious and anti-family. A meticulously researched primer on sex education stirs up accusations of pornography and child abuse. Picture books about two mommies (or two penguin daddies) set off a clamor. Two hugely popular children's series run afoul of would-be censors, one for its scatological humor, the other because it's deemed too scary. Kids' books that touch on race, sex, LGBTQ+ matters, the occult, "coarse language," and more have found themselves under the scrutiny of those who challenge First Amendment rights. Tune in as thirteen top authors for young people speak out about what it's like to have your work banned or challenged in America today. They discuss why their books have faced censorship, how the challenges have affected their writing, and why some people want to deny access to books. Meanwhile, Leonard S. Marcus puts First Amendment challenges in a historical context and takes a promising look at the vibrant support network that has risen up to protect and defend young people's rights. Featuring an inspiring new foreword from Levar Burton, You Can't Say That! is a nuanced and powerful testament to the essential freedom to read."--
