A generation of young people were forced out of their classrooms, jobs, and social lives, returning home to live with their parents. Now many of these young adults carry the scars of the internal pandemic, with increased anxiety and depression, poor coping, and the uncertainty of how to restart their lives. Parents want to help, but the old rules of advice-giving can clash with the need to respect their child’s autonomy.

Book Bans Have Tripled in the Last Year | Episode 115 | Book News

PEN America has uncovered a disturbing trend in our latest findings: more than 10,000 instances of book bans in U.S. public schools during the 2023-2024 school year, nearly tripling last year's number. These bans predominantly target stories about LGBTQ+ characters, people of color, and books addressing women's sexual experiences or sexual abuse. With this surge driven by new state laws and "parental rights" advocacy groups, PEN America is raising urgent alarms about the chilling impact on students' freedom to read.

Asian-American History For Young People | Episode 109

GRAB A COPY OF Made in Asian America: A History for Young People here - https://amzn.to/3TzdZ1g or here - https://bookshop.org/a/22223/9780063242937. Asian American history is not made up of one single story. It’s many. And it’s a story that too often goes untold. It begins centuries before America even exists as a nation. It is connected to the histories of Western conquest and colonialism. It’s a story of migration; of people and families crossing the Pacific Ocean in search of escape, opportunity, and new beginnings. It is also the story of race and racism. Of being labeled an immigrant invasion, unfit to become citizens, and being banned, deported, and incarcerated. Of being blamed for bringing diseases into the country. And it is a story of bravery and hope. It is the story of heroes who fought for equality in the courts, on the streets, and in the schools, and who continue to fight in solidarity with others doing the same. This book is a stirring account of the ordinary people and extraordinary acts that made Asian America and the young people who are remaking America today.
