It’s all about the young folk this week: We’ve got Gen Z protestors disrupting anti-abortion galas…a student reporter holding colleges to task…and clever TikTokers lobbying for debt relief. And that’s just in the first ten minutes! Then, host Brittany Packnett Cunningham talks to school librarian Jennisen Lucas and author George M. Johnson about the new wave of book banning, who’s really behind it, and the lifelong damage it does– to students, and to all of us. 

Note: Read Talia’s Kantor Lieber's story about how colleges in hostile states are responding to the end of Roe: https://themeteor.us/iKxc5z. AND, to donate relief aid to Pakistan, here are some useful resources: Pakistan Red Crescent Society, Muslim Aid, and International Medical Corps.
