Anna Mae, you have found that there are, in fact, ties to this issue overseas, correct?
20:35
Yes, as part of the study that our colleague Kate Capshaw co-wrote with our colleagues in the University of Glasgow, that was the question we were asking, you know, is this just a United States issue? Is this happening other places? Because there's definitely some particular questions in the United States as we sort of referred to around race and religion, sexuality that have particular valences here.
21:06
And to be honest, I don't know if I want to speak for Victoria and Amber and But I kind of thought, well, Scotland isn't going to have these issues, right? Scotland is in Europe and they're free from all of these issues.
21:22
And one of the things we learned was that was absolutely not the case.
21:27
that these questions are circulating.
21:30
That certainly in Scotland, some of the questions, certainly there was issues around, say the history of enslavement were not so much on the table, but issues around a hot button issue that we found that arose there was questions of immigration.
21:50
And our colleague, in the University of Glasgow has written a wonderful book about Paddington, which is, you know, I think from the US, we see that as just a charming book about a teddy bear.

If I really insist that my student's not going to read that book, is that still my right? What are the parents' rights here?
