From book bans to uproar over critical race theory, American classrooms have been on the front lines of the culture war. And one state – and its governor – is leading the charge.

In the latest episode of Reveal, we partner with freelance reporter and filmmaker Sam Greenspan to take you to New College of Florida, where a pitched battle has been playing out between students and faculty and Gov. Ron DeSantis. Greenspan, who is a graduate of New College, follows journalists at the Catalyst, the student newspaper, as they cover the rapid-fire changes that are throwing the future of the college into uncertainty.

** A Quote to Remember
------------------------------------------------------------
"I wasn’t interested in just setting the record straight or putting out history or something. I was interested in educating people to the need to stop this war."

Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers, a trove of classified documents that exposed the government’s lies about the Vietnam War. Ellsberg died earlier this month at 92 years old. He spoke with Reveal about the historic leak ([link removed]) in 2016.
