Just in time to close out Hispanic Heritage month, Jennifer and Courtney cover the widely banned book Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Perez. Regarded as anal pornography by an angry Texan “mom-for-liberty”, Out of Darkness is actually a Romeo and Juliet inspired love story between a Mexican-American girl and an African-American boy at the time of the 1937 Texas school explosion. Tune in to find out how this award-winning historical fiction became wrongfully labeled thanks to the hateful rhetoric spread by present day racists and misogynists.
On a lighter note, Courtney and Jennifer also shed light on which Shakespearean words are code for “penis”, “orgasm”, “virginity” and more, as they discuss why the Dept. of Education would recommend “Romeo and Juliet” even though it has been restricted in some counties.
