UU Can't Ban My Books (Virtual)
UU Can't Ban My Books (Virtual)
October 28, 2025 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Conference Rm & Zoom (link in description)
Tuesday, October 28, 6:30-8pm ~ In-Person or Zoom at https://bit.ly/3sxzsci
We’ll read and discuss young adult books that have been banned or challenged—books that spark meaningful conversations around social justice, identity, and the values we hold dear as UUs. Books are available locally at Lit on Fire, online at bookshop.org/shop/UUCP, for free at your local library.
This month’s selection, Crank by Ellen Hopkins, tells the story of how one summer’s drug use changes the course of honors student Kristina Snow’s life, showing that addiction can strike any
person or family. Kristina is only 16 when she first uses crystal meth, which she dubs “the monster.” Written in hypnotic, broken verse, the novel is loosely based on the struggles of Hopkins’s own daughter. Minimal words and granular details immerse the reader in the psyche of a teenager dealing with drug addiction. A New York Times bestseller, Crank is also regularly featured on banned-book lists for its depictions of addiction and sex.

We will be exploring the 2,500-year-old ideas in the Chinese Tao Te Ching. Gene Mialkowski and Bill Keefner will facilitate, and our primary source will be the Tao Te Ching as interpreted by Stephen Mitchell with occasional references to other translations and interpretations. The goal is to have lively, insightful discussions on the meaning of the Tao and how it applies to society today and to us as individuals. Bring your copy of the Tao Te Ching if you have one.
