It’s movie season! Jennifer and Courtney are excited about this summer’s box office hits…Barbie, Oppenheimer, and…The Sound of Freedom? Join them as they discuss what has movie-goers all in a tizzy ranging from female empowerment to an inaccurate portrayal of human trafficking produced by antisemitic conspiracy theorists. With antisemitic incidents on the rise and anti-student inclusion organizations like Moms for Liberty quoting Hitler, books like Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman are vital to protect...which is why Jennifer and Courtney are asking why a historical account featuring a cartoon mouse is on the chopping block of censorship. Tune in to hear what has School Boards and parents so upset about a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel that transforms cartoon drawings into a masterpiece that shoulders the heaviness of Jewish genocide brought on by Nazis.
