This week, they dive into the controversial topic of censorship, particularly focusing on the classic novel \"Catcher in the Rye\" by J.D. Salinger. Beowulf also shares a powerful story from Hamtramck, Michigan, where a planned book burning by an anti-Muslim group was thwarted by a united community standing in support of their Muslim neighbors. This heartening display of solidarity serves as a reminder of the strength found in collective action against hate.
