Banned-Books Week 2016 is here, and Mickey spends the hour in conversation with three
defenders of the "freedom to read." They explore some of the ways in which students'
access to books can be inhibited. In keeping with this year's BBW theme of "diversity",
the guests note that most books targeted for removal from school library shelves
are by and about people of color, LGBT individuals, or people with disabilities.

In recognition of the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, today's guest is Tony Rooke,

For the first half of the program, Peter and Mickey speak with author and Code-Pink
cofounder Medea Benjamin; her new book, "Kingdom of the Unjust," examines the
history of U.S.-Saudi Arabian relations, and how the two governments remain close

and promoting the Wahabist version of Islam across the Mideast and beyond.
In the second half-hour, investigative journalist Greg Palast speaks about his
latest investigations into voter disenfranchisement, which is carried out primarily

(but not exclusively) by Republican secretaries of state. Palast has a new article in

Can Buy."

What is Critical Media Literacy, and why is it a vital skill for students and citizens today? Peter and Mickey speak with two Media Literacy scholars,

August 09, 2016 Project Censored - 08.09.16

Peter and Mickey spend the hour in conversation with author/educator Henry Giroux. Giroux explains the concept of 'critical pedagogy,'
and the pivotal role that education plays for the whole of society. He warns of the increasing domination of the world by the ultra-rich,
and a new form of anti-intellectualism fostered by a failing corporate media. Among the measures the left must take to resist these forces,
he cites the formation of a broad-based third political party, and more academics taking on the duties of public intellectuals, rather than

limiting themselves to the campus.

Notes:
This program is a rebroadcast of the October 30, 2015 program.

Henry Giroux teaches at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
