1:46Now PlayingIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill breaks down New Jersey’s groundbreaking Freedom to Read Act, signed by Governor Phil Murphy, and its bold stand against the wave of book bans sweeping America. Designed to protect librarians and preserve students’ access to diverse, challenging, and even controversial ideas, the law is a direct response to right-wing crackdowns on books about race, LGBTQ+ issues, and more.
Hill doesn’t hold back as he critiques groups like Moms for Liberty and other censorship advocates, calling out their fear of “dangerous ideas” and urging the entire country to follow New Jersey’s lead. With free speech and education under attack, this conversation dives into why access to uncomfortable truths is essential for real learning.
