President Joe Biden said Monday that Juneteenth is about “reading books, not banning them,” in an apparent reference to efforts to ban pornographic books from children’s libraries.
“Juneteenth is about Americans feeling the progress we can make for America. It’s about remembering history, not erasing it. It’s about reading books, not banning them. That’s what great nations do, and we are a great nation,” the president said in a tweet.(Tweet) Biden has made his fight against book banning a key part of his reelection campaign, featuring a clip about the issue in his 2024 launch video.

It's kind of like Summer Kwanzaa. A hyped, semi-legitimate holiday. All part of the Global Marxist plan to destroy American identity. Also helps them forget our first Republican President: The Great Emancipator. Of course now, they have Zero: The Great Hallucinator.

NO books have been banned. No library can possibly purchase every book that has been published. And schools have limited funds and must choose carefully. The books these school libraries choose not to purchase can be bought on the open market and privately and they may be available at a public library. These books can be found and read.

Notice no one ever asks for the title and contents of the dang book. Besides that minor detail, no one tells the truth about the books. They are not banned. The trash books are moved to a different section. No one explains that. Remember when playboy magazine came out. The book was behind the cashier and covered. Only the name of the magazine could be seen. That was a time when children were protected and allowed to be kids. Also a time when others beliefs and opinions were respected. Now the Dems want things their way and only their way.

FWIW myths, legends, anecdotes and lies do not make a book worth reading.

Sorry Joe, the holiday isn't about reading at all. But in fact if it was, Blacks might find out that the Dem Party is the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow. No, reading isn't part of Juneteenth.

No, June 19th is the day we remember that Republicans took away the Democrats slaves.

For once Joe is right. Juneteenth isn't about banning books, it's about another holiday for government workers.

June 19th, a day which is ignorantly mispronounced and celebrated by black people gathering in crowds and shooting each other.

I do not celebrate June 19. Others are free to do as they like, but it is not a national holiday.

Back when I was working I was told that I could not take MLK day off because I'm white. They meant it.
Actually it's summer so I'm NOT white I'm pink but I guess Juneteenth is off too. Don't care really.

Silly me; I had no idea that 'Juneteenth' was about books in any way, banning them or reading them. I thought it was about getting together for a big party / brawl and acting like a 'Chicago Weekend', only nationwide.
I'm glad to hear that it is all about the pursuit of knowledge. Thanks for setting me straight, Joe.

Who ever said that Juneteenth was ever about burning books? From the looks of it in certain “communities” it appears that Juneteenth is much more about people who can’t read shooting other people!

I turned on my conservative talk radio station today and the host was not there today. Instead they had a show celebrating Juneteenth. Do they have a show celebrating Independence Day or Presidents Day? Suddenly this day becomes so important.

Can Biden get any more perverted than he already is? The mask is falling off him and the contents behind it are ugly.

Based upon what I read in the news, Juneteenth is a day of gunfire and shootings.

As a Black man who grew up in rural 70s and 80s I never heard of Juneteenth. Only when I joined the Navy and got stationed in Oakland CA in the early 90's did I find out about it. After that I didn't hear ANYTHING about it until our moron president made it another day off for the federal work force. I didn't care then and don't care now. Get back to me when the leftards care about the real holiday coming up next month.
