My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Alicia Messing, an Arizona teacher, testified before the Arizona Senate Education Committee to protest SB 1700 which would amend the state’s existing education laws to give parents the right to review and remove inappropriate books from libraries and classrooms.
During her testimony Messing said,

According to Messing, teachers trump parents.
