Description
"Reading Is Fun and Mental"
A young girl lays on her bed reading, surrounded by her collection of her favorite banned books in a abstract portrait painted in digital oils in a rainbow of colors on a textured canvas.
The current uptick in the effort to ban books on the part of conservatives in the United States is not an accident. They need to keep their constituents ignorant and uneducated to retain power because educated, smart constituents won't vote for them. The Pew Research Center has found "Highly educated adults, particularly those who have attended graduate school, are far more likely than those with less education to take predominantly liberal positions across a range of political values." Smart, educated people do not vote Republican and smart, educated people don't ban books. Be smart.
The Brooklyn Public Library has created the Books Unbanned initiative to ensure that banned books are available to students worldwide. You can find more information about their fabulous initiative at https://www.bklynlibrary.org/books-unbanned. After you've read a couple chapters of your favorite banned book, please visit my "The Resistance" art collection to see more of my social and political commentary artwork.
