The former host of ‘Reading Rainbow’ used to encourage kids to read books. Now he’s telling adults not to ban them

Interesting article organisation. Tease LeVar Burton, but don't introduce him until the second section.

Also, his name is LeVar Burton, and the man has done a lot of things.

lol at not even a sly reference to his most famous role. it was amazing to watch LeVar Burton go from kid's show reading advocate to sci-fi hero. dude's a national treasure.

Who does CNN think their target demographic is with that headline? If you're reading CNN, you remember Reading Rainbow, and if you remember Reading Rainbow, YOU PUT SOME RESPEK ON LEVAR BURTON'S GATDAMN NAME.

LeVar Burton is a national treasure, his podcast is amazing.

Basically Reading Rainbow for adults.

Boy, does it feel like we've failed our childhood heroes.

How sad that it's come to this. On the other hand, maybe if Mr. Rogers was still around, we'd have someone to talk to Republicans about kindness.

Anyone else feel like the country would be better off if more adults read books too? Only half joking...

Moms of Liberty: Reading "Rainbow", omg we HAVE to ban that from schools as it has a gay agenda!

Qwack jobs like those need to read the Constitution more instead of reinterpreting their Bible to fit their own agenda.

Shout out to LeVar, a true National Treasure.

If only adults realised the value of actually reading books instead of merely gouging on TV and Internet talking points.

Oh man

I couldve sworn Levar Burton had died recently.

It was Lance Reddick i was thinking of

Set phasers to love me
