Petey Hegseth's Big Boo Boo and "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson

  • Resumen

  • Courtney and Jen celebrate the end of Women’s History Month by spotlighting the book Speak by Laurie Halse Andseron. This award-winning YA novel was banned 14 times since its debut in 1999 because it made male students feel “uncomfortable”...But when Big Boy Pete Hegseth, Our Orange Oligarchian, and his strange side-kick/Deputy Dictator make us feel uncomfortable, they don’t get banned, they get to…put national safety at risk by accidentally texting sensitive war plans to who the hell knows, illegally dismantle the Dept of Ed in a not-so-secret attempt to privatize education, and take away social security because we belong to the “parasite class”?

    It’s no secret that we live in a society where the toxic behavior of boys and men towards girls and women is not only rampant but expected. Yet, we are reading, resisting, and inviting you to join us. Women are bravely SPEAKING up with SA allegations against the misogynists in Capitol Hill, (the Orange Oligarchian has 27 alone) so we are speaking up too. And like Melinda learns in Speak: “Don’t expect to make a difference unless you speak up for yourself.”
