Norman Finkelstein, Barbara Smith and Robin D.G. Kelley debate identity politics. 
First Barbara and Robin go over the College Board’s revision of its curriculum for its Advanced Placement African American Studies course. These revisions happened just weeks after Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to ban the class in Florida schools. Then Norman joins the discussion. 

Norman G. Finkelstein received his PhD from the Princeton University Politics Department in 1987. He is the author of many books that have been translated into 60 foreign editions, including THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY: Reflections on the exploitation of Jewish suffering, and GAZA: An inquest into its martyrdom. In the year 2020, Norman Finkelstein was named the fifth most influential political scientist in the world.
