Summary
This Week: As the cost of living skyrockets in America, the dissatisfaction with the American-Israeli wars in Palestine and Iran grows. But what doesn’t get discussed is the effect of these wars on their children and schools. In Gaza a scholasticide has resulted in the obliteration of nearly every school, the deaths of 17,000+ students, and over 700 teachers and faculty. In Iran, many students are getting only 2 hours of online school a day, as fear and trauma grip families amidst bombings and destruction. Also, as the utter insanity of right wing book bans cools to some degree, we check in on American librarians, who persist in the face of these hateful attacks , and continue to uphold one of the most lovingly radical institutions in American life.
