Public School Book Battle, and TikTok Bathroom Mirrors Removed
Manage episode 397047549 series 3511051
Could the books on school library shelves—or those missing from them—reshape the future of education? We're cracking open the cover on the contentious issue of book bans in public schools, spotlighting the Moms for Liberty campaign's efforts to censor literature on LGBTQ+ rights, race, and ethnicity. Hear how our local Forsyth County School Board is standing firm against outside pressure, ensuring that challenges to educational resources only come from those with skin in the game: current students, parents, guardians, and staff. This isn't just about keeping certain pages on the racks; it's a deeper discussion on the role of education in fostering an informed and free society.
A Burlington NC school has banned mirrors in the bathrooms to curb students taking bathroom breaks... to take TikTok videos.
Finally, tie up your laces, adjust that fanny pack (if you dare), and join us for another session of "That Dumb Sh*t" with GC. How high do you have to be....?
