(NASA KIDS ONLY) Book Banning: Protecting Kids or Integrating Politics

# data[].attributes.body
This group is open to all kids who will be attending the NASA Goddard Trip and will be unable to attend the ELA Night. In this group we will create a Socratic Seminar discussing the recent banning of books in schools, where it makes sense to ban a book, and where it becomes censorship. Students would be expected to bring a couple examples of books to talk about and an open mind to listen to others ideas.

P.S. I’m uncertain what category this would go under, as it would be pre-recorded before ELA Night like a podcast, but is more of a Socratic Circle.

# data[].attributes.body
This group will do a live podcast discussing censorship and cancel culture in today’s Western society plus its impact on social interactions.

I will be reading poems that were produced by people who were in jail so that the listeners and myself may have a discussion about the poem and its meaning, overall story and lesson.  Sometimes people overlook prisoners and what they have learned or experienced in prison so I hope by reading poetry made by prisoners a more sympathetic perspective can be made throughout my listeners so that as a group we can learn to understand where some of these prisoners come from and what they have gone through while being imprisoned for their crimes.  I plan to do this alone but if a few people would like to join me and share their own thoughts or have a poem/s written by a prisoner that they found interesting and would like to join me that would be fine by me.
