BiblioFiles #106: Charitable Reading with Dr. Seuss

Aaron Andrews, our resident journalist, is back on BiblioFiles to discuss his recent opinion piece concerning the Dr. Seuss controversy with Adam and Ian. We talk about what it looks like for a charitable reader to encounter offensive material, a reader’s relationship to a troubling past, and why it’s difficult to have civil conversations about sensitive issues these days.
