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.
Don't forget Roots
And can I just add... DAMN he's aged well. That beard is on point.
He inspired a generation to wear their mom's hairband over their eyes
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.
Don't mess with Kunta Kinte!!!
LeVar Burton is a national treasure, his podcast is amazing.

Basically Reading Rainbow for adults.
Nice to see short fiction making a bit of a comeback. Shame all this MAGA stuff didn't bring back the best thing about the 50s: short format and serial fiction periodicals.
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.
Republicans have tried demonizing him as woke trying to indoctrinate our children. So unfortunately unlikely.
Demonizing probably the nicest man in history is a good indicator that you're the villain.
They would call him too woke.
Fox News called him evil, so… at least he’s not woke.
They wouldn't listen to him, and would call Mr. Rogers woke trash. The current Republican Party and its supporters are a hot mess.
Depending on how you define “modern” Fox News did call him evil in 2007.
There is also that whacko on Newsmax that calls the Muppets Sesame Street a bunch of evil communists.
This is him when he was on Fox but he has ranted about wanting to debate that well known commie Big Bird a couple times while on Newsmax.

To be clear: this man wants to debate a fictional character on a beloved children's TV show and Fox and Newsmax continued to employ him.
Anyone else feel like the country would be better off if more adults read books too? Only half joking...
I think it would depend on the books.
Yeah, for all i know the only approved book in a conservative adult book program would be mein kampf
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.
More and more people are reading every year. The latest generation are devouring books.
The old grumpy TV glued generation are dying off and being replaced by book reading activists that care about the future.
Set phasers to love me
Oh man
I couldve sworn Levar Burton had died recently.
It was Lance Reddick i was thinking of
