The Attack on Public Education

Education has become a hot button topic in America. From school closings due to the pandemic, to the war on masks, to the endless talk of CRT, “parent’s rights” and the banning of books and discussions of LGBTQ issues, the Republicans, never one to let a good crisis go to waste, have found a way to capitalize on the issue to get the results they want - the Democrats, not so much. So, today we’re going to talk about public education in America and how our politics are poised to completely reconfigure what it looks like depending on which road we take.

Great episode!

A very easy-to-understand explanation of public school history and why the push toward the use of vouchers for private schools is so dangerous. Everyone should listen to this episode. Also, a very interesting take discussion on how COVID drove the current attack on public education.
