delaware and texas. unlike a traditional merger where two entities merge together to form a new entity, a dwigsle merger voss involving one entity into two. in a dwigsle merger bankruptcy, the original company is divided into two parts. one new company that attempts to resolve the asbestos related claims globally through a chapter 11 bankruptcy process. and one new company that continues to operate the business. here is where a critical misunderstanding may arise. while the transaction involves two steps, the separation of entities in a bankruptcy filing, it does not involve the side-stepping of accountability for financial responsibility for the asbestos related claims. the law should not and would not allow that. going all the way back to the fraudulent conveyances act of 1571 known as the statute of 13 elizabeth, it has been illegal to take actions with the purpose and intent to delay, hinder or defraud creditors. those same words appear in our federal bankruptcy code and in the laws of all 50 u.s. st

just look at what is happening in the state of texas for instance. a recent nbc news investigation of nearly 100 school districts in the houston, dallas, san antonio, and austin areas, has revealed that there have been 75 formal requests by parents or community members, to ban books from libraries during the first four months of this school year. in comparison, only one library book challenge was filed at those districts during the same time period a year earlier. a lot of these have been inspired by the wave of anti-critical race theory laws being passed in states all across the country. bans primarily target books with what is seen as racial or lbgtq themes, like all boys aren't blue by george m. johnson, and how to be an antiracist by dr. ibramx. kennedy and an auto biography of former first lady michelle obama that one texas parent promoted quote reverse racism. the school district denied that request thankfully. joining me now is one of the authors, professor, "four hundred souls," it was just released in paper back, and doctor, your book low to
