Ray Ankrum's piece "[Adressing Anti-School Choice Noise](https://everybodyluvsraymondsedblog.com/2019/01/26/addressing-the-anti-school-choice-noise/)" gets us talking about the people in our life and community how disagree with the education work we do.

This past week we saw teachers in Los Angeles end their first strike in in 30 years. Did the parents and children in that city gain enough in the process?

We discuss Citizen Stewart's [piece on the issue](http://citizenstewart.org/just-once-i-want-to-see-a-national-protest-for-better-teaching-and-more-learning/).

In this first episode the crew (Ankrum, Cole, El-Mekki, and Stewart) introduce the show and talk about the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King, public school integration, and the big money that funds anti-school choice activists.
