  1. Good job Nadrian. I did not know Captain Underpants was banned for teaching kids to disobey adults.

  2. Thats Crazy! There is no way that captain underpants was doing something bad for young kids other than giving them imaginations! I liked your vlog though!

    1. I agreed with you. I didn't say that Captain Underpants was a bad thing... Actually it's the complete opposite. I said that Captain Underpants was a good thing.

  3. I did not think that Of Mice and Men would get banned for racism. It was supposed to be a historical fiction and needed t be accurate. Back in those days discrimination was big,

  4. This is one of the best vlog I watched. I enjoyed how you had the music in the background it made it more exciting to watch. I'm shocked that Captain Underpants was banned for kids not obeying adults. I agree with you when you said that this is stupid. Plus "Of Mice and Men" is a great book. I don't get why it should be banned for telling the complete truth back in the old days.

  5. I completely agree with you. like you said, Of Mice And Men is not racist, it's put in the time period where the N word was very common and people used it all the time because that was the right word to call blacks.I learned that Captain underpants was banned because of VIOLENCE? Comic books that kids read that are 7years old have a lot more violence than hitting someone with a pan (i never really read captain underpants so i'm guessing)

  6. I did Captain Underpants as well and found it very surprising. I also learned that Of Mice and Men is banned for being racist. I've found that many books have been banned for the use of the n-word and things of that sort because at the time it was accepted.

  7. I had a discussion with someone about your points of Of Mice And Men. It shows how people spoke. It shows people how others spoke and thought back then, even if it wasn't a good thing. In your vlog, I learned that Captain Underpants was banned for many reasons, including "encouraging kids to disobey adults" That's silly. Great vlog.

  8. I did *Of Mice and Men* as well! I do have to agree on how the book is only racist for one reason of saying the "n" word. I actually did learn that *Captain Underpants* was partly banned because it would let children have the idea to disobey adults. Amazing vlog!
