Pentagon’s attempt to ban books from base schools faces backlash from military families

From PBS NewsHour.

The Trump administration made it clear that it wanted to change the culture of the military. One effort targeted books on race, gender and sexuality in the libraries of schools on military bases attended by service members’ children. Nick Schifrin and producer Dan Sagalyn have the story for our series, Art in Action, exploring the intersection of art and democracy as part of our CANVAS coverage.
