LeVar Burton Reveals WHY Hollywood CANCELED “Reading Rainbow”

He was intelligent…

Singing the rainbow theme song got me through alot of hard times. Even to this very day.

Does anyone know where you can find recordings of his shows? I'd love to show them to my daughter

I believe my love of reading came from this show. I was definitely brainwashed 😊

I can go anywhere….thank you Mr. Burton❤

Brainwashing kids into being free-thinking well educated individuals, you pervert to the system of existential societal economical government control. ie human drones. LaVar's a hero.

This is AI trash

🗣 Eyeeeeeeeeeeeee Caaaaaaaan Dooo AnyyyyThaaaaaaaang 💪🏾 😤 Them folks don't like someone named Lavar giving that message unfortunately. I'm glad I got that message

This taught me so many when I was going up a l hold them till this day

Levar burton, such a disappointment. As a mixed race kid I loved reading rainbow. I loved him on star trek. Fast forward 30 years and he finds out he is not a pure blood black and he is such a bigot he is ready to fight the guy who hands him the news. Some of those banned books he would like to share today are totally inappropriate. Not the racial cultural and historical books, but the sexual pornography. Specifically he has stated that “hands would need to be thrown” if he were in the presence of mothers trying to keep pornography out of elementary school libraries. Literacy is great. But not everything in a book belongs infront of little kids alone in a library.

I'm sure that Burton didn't brainwashed kids nor intended
I'm sure he's encouraging kids to READ something Roald Dahl would have wanted too
Less time on TV and actually something more meaningful and getting educated

More details please

What ban books ? which controversial topics?

Sounds like basically they didn't want children to be smarter thru reading.

Never watched it.

Butterflies unfortunately now a symbol of Brainwashing 😢😅

The title was misleading as Levar doesn't reveal the real reason he thinks the show was canceled.

😢😢😢Hollywood is run bunch of Crack heads reading rainbow showed me to read n have a awesome future wt does Hollywood show people to b heaters have young people to government there parents now a days we now have kids k kids sueing there moms n fathers cuz the money goes t the parents n not t them really Hollywood is just high dip stick

Lavon Burton is an icon and an American treasure

There’s the way Levar sees it and …well, that’s the only opinion that counted. He did treat children like adults. No Mr. Warmth there. But there is so much more to the story.

LEEEE-var Burton? Nice. He’d like that for sure.

Celebrating over here!!!

IT WAS BECOMING TOO POWERFUL FOR YOUNG BKACK KIDS ! AND THEM LIBERALS WERE NO WAY WE CAN'T HAVE THIS WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM BLACKS ON WELFARE AND IN THEM PROJECTS AND ALWAYS VOTE DEMOCRAT THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO PROGRESS

This sounds very ChatGPT generated.

The reason I can read plus wishbone n Mrs Roger’s

They cancel it because LeVar Burton's a racist! He's so openly has a disdain for white people. And me being an indigenous Hispanic, I used to look up to this man but after seeing his reaction to having white ancestry and having a white great-grandfather who was part of the Confederacy just seems a little poetic!

Way ahead of his time and still underrated ❤

Why Does a 'Disclaimer' thing keep popping up?

What topics were questioned? Be specific! What other shows were cancelled? (I stopped watching because you’re not telling anything!)

We need it back. I am 34 and my nieces watched the reruns and loved it! Was my favorite childhood show followed closely by recess and Mr Rogers

Yeah brah.
Why would you want to brainwash kids into thinking critically and researching and clearly articulating their ideas.
Don't you know those are the very attributes to an educated citizenry?
Children who think, grow up into adults who think. Do YOU think neoliberals want that?!
Of course not!
Sheep are lead to slaughter, thinking people don't go willingly.

It's was positive inclusive.creative and promote literacy an education yup definitely brainwashing smh

I would support a new season of reading rainbow with lavar

Corporate entertainment doesn't want kids to read. The younger generations these days certainly do not.

This video is click-bait. It doesn't reveal at all why the show was cancelled. It just mentions a bunch of vague events, but no specifics.

I LOVE READING RAINBOW!!!! 🌈🌈📚🥰

Ghostwriter, Reading Rainbow, Schoolhouse Rock & Magic School Bus were captivating because it didn't feel questionable or perverted.

I love reading rainbow! It was quality.

Moreover......... moreover......... moreover.......

The first matrix don't take my word for it always made you think.

Loved this show and still sing this song hence why it must have taken me on this internet tour glad I found this video

Mr. Burton U are truly loved,honored and respected. My children have loved U and share Reading Rainbow with their children..thank U sincerely ❤

One of the most important educational tv shows EVER!

Guy was a legend in the 90s. What an amazing human being.

Lavar Burton is a national hero, and a living legend in the black community. Thank you Lavar Burton.

Man, I loved watching Reading Rainbow when I was a little kid.

Yo is this whole channel made with AI? It definitely sounds like it.

So sad another good black man career gone because of society did Georgia p Diddy on the gates of Cosby

Now is a great time to revive the show. Motivating kids to read is a much better idea than having a device in front of them all the time.

And that’s why he and his show was “blotted out” Reaching out, and inspiring the city youth (I’ll just say it that looked like him) to pick up a book, and READ…
