Teacher Speech and the New Divide: Book Bans

<p>In the fifth episode of our new series, Teacher Speech and the New Divide, we’re taking a look at book bans in schools. We head off to Florida, the epicenter of this conflict, to find out more about what books are being removed, how this affects students, teachers, and the community, and the actions that educators are taking in the face of these controversial transformations in school libraries and classrooms. Our host Justin Reich is joined by former teacher and educational researcher Natasha Esteves, and accompanied by an interview with Brevard County teacher and founder of Foundation 451, Adam Tritt.</p><p>Special thanks to our friends at Learning for Justice, and the Justice in Schools team at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for their collaboration on this work.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Resources and Links</strong></p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://foundation451.org/" target="_blank">Foundation 451</a></p><p>Take our course on supporting youth activism at <a href="http://www.youthinfront.org" target="_blank">www.youthinfront.org</a></p><p>Pre-Order Justin Reich’s new book <a href="http://www.iteratebook.com" target="_blank">Iterate: The Secret to Innovation in Schools</a></p><p>Watch our documentary film <a href="https://somethingdifferentfilm.com/" target="_blank">We Have to Do Something Different</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Transcript</strong></p><p><a href="https://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/teacher-speech-e5/transcript" target="_blank">https://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/teacher-speech-e5/transcript</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Host Justin Reich</p><p>Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett Beazley </p><p>Recorded and Mixed by Garrett Beazley</p><p>Follow TeachLab on <a href="https://twitter.com/TeachLabPodcast">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzVImQvNXI3Km8Hthzc7yg?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p>
