In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry discusses the frenzy around banning books in American schools while school shootings are happening once a week in America. She shares data on efforts to prevent teachers from teaching accurate American history and current events, including that 17 states in the U.S. have laws with gag orders to prevent discussion of these topics! She shares the data about which books and historical figures are being banned. She makes the argument how, despite a rise in school shootings, the focus seems to be more on banning books. Dr. Berry questions when books became more dangerous than bullets and emphasizes the need to address both issues.
