Highlights of the interview include:
"Cancel culture is rapidly attacking our American institutions, including our libraries and schools. I'm alarmed by the left's attempt to cancel historic books and characters. No one is safe from the woke culture, not even Dr. Seuss."
***
"The GRINCH Act would prevent our taxpayer dollars from supporting states and local governments that ban books?.Yesterday I was in [a] library and they took me into the children's section and showed me the shelf full of Dr. Seuss books. If you find that these books are offensive to your children, then parents should be the ones who make that decision not the government."
***
"Federal dollars should not support anyone who bans books. Our First Amendment rights those of adults and our children must be defended."
***
"The parents are the ones who should be guiding the children, not government. We don't need to be woke."
***
"The GRINCH Act? sends a message to America, we can't let the left cancel us."
***
The GRINCH Act would protect authors and literature from cancel culture by prohibiting states and local government agencies from receiving funding under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program if they ban books.
