Finlos Teaches: Banned Books
Episode description
Finlos Teaches is a show that explores practical classroom experiences, policy matters, the the teaching experience from educators in the field.
In this episode I discuss concerns and potential consequences relating to challenges of books in public schools and libraries. This topic was recently brought to the fore for Adam Tritt, a teacher and elected official in Brevard County, Florida, when his Gofundme project raising money to purchase challenged books was discovered by a local activist group and posted online. On one side, supporters of Moms for Liberty accused Tritt of being a groomer and encouraging inappropriate content, and on the other his supporters have now donated over $20,000. I had the chance to interview him for this episode.
