Mariska Hargitay Instagram – Congratulations to @theabcsofbookbanning documentary short for taking the next step in the fight for the freedom to read in America. Book Banning is taking place in various districts in up to 38 states. Book Bans deny our collective stories by restricting information, discouraging freedom of thought, and censoring the ability of educators to teach students how to think for themselves. #theabcsofbookbanning #bookbanning #bannedbooks #censorship #freedomtoread #readbannedbooks @mtvdocs @paramountplus @nypl @thesheilanevins @trishadlesic
