Navigating Book Censorship and Parental Rights in Ohio Schools
In this episode, Karen sits down with Lyndsie Wall, a state director for Defense of Democracy. They discuss the challenges faced by the public school system in Ohio, particularly regarding the censorship of books. Lyndsie shares her personal experience with Moms for Liberty, a group that has been attacking books and educators in her community. They also discuss a recent compromise that was reached in Lyndsie's school district, which allows parents to have more control over their child's reading material. Lyndsie expresses her excitement for the upcoming school year and her commitment to fighting for the rights of all students.
