  • Sumário

  • Book bans are happening in Georgia and across the nation. According to PEN America, more than 10,000 book bans have been counted in public schools since 2021. Amanda Jones is an educator, an award-winning librarian, and an anti-censorship advocate. She talks with Rose about her new book, "That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America." The part memoir, part manifesto maps the book-banning crisis happening across the U.S. and chronicles Jones’ efforts to combat it.

    Plus, the Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative (PAD) helps people experiencing extreme poverty, substance abuse and mental health disorders through diversion efforts and wraparound services. However, some Atlanta City Council members are questioning the leadership and operations of the nonprofit. Moki Macias, who serves as the executive director of PAD, talks with Rose about the success of PAD and responds to the concerns.
