This Saturday, after a brief summary of NYC education news, I interviewed Jonathan Friedman of PEN America, an expert on book-banning -- a movement sweeping across the nation that is successfully removing critical books off the shelves of schools and public libraries. Jonathan explains why this disturbing trend is happening now and what parents and education advocates can do to fight it. Take a listen!
