Description
Book banning is often done with the intention of “protecting children”. But who decides what is or isn’t okay? And are we doing children and their families a disservice when we do? We are joined by Pat Scales, expert on censorship and a retired librarian, and Alex Gino, award-winning author of several banned books to discuss why books are challenged, the effects bans have, and on the line between fear and intellectual freedom.
