At least 25 states have enacted laws that will make it easier to remove books from school libraries, ban certain lessons on race, gender and sexuality, and limit the rights of transgender students, according to a Washington Post analysis. On this edition of Your Call, we speak with teachers who are fighting back against Republican policies to ban books and whitewash US history. For the hour, we talk with teachers Ben Hodge in York, Pennsylvania, Adam Tritt in Melbourne, Florida, and Jesse Hagopian, with the Zinn Education Project, in Seattle, Washington about how they are fighting back against attempts to ban the teaching of true history in classrooms.
