"In the US, political pressure on schools is intensifying. Especially in Republican-governed states like Florida, teachers are experiencing massive restrictions on their teaching freedom and intimidation through vague laws. In an interview with the German School Portal, teacher and union leader Andrew Spar talks about a culture of fear, book bans, and the difficult search for forms of resistance." Alexander Brand for the German School Portal (Deutsche Schulportal), 20.05.25. Available only in German
