All of the Above Podcast

A week of right wing insanity, and what we should do about it - Passing Period #102


Listen Later

This Week: In just the last 8 days there have been so many utterly insane stories capturing the escalating right wing attacks on public education and the marginalized communities our nation’s schools serve, it’s hard to know where to begin this week. To start, here’s the 9 most egregious stories (and there’s more!) we mention in this week’s episode:

  • Temecula school board adopts social studies curriculum, avoids fine but faces civil rights inquiry

  • California school board battles over LGBTQ+ rights intensify after transgender vote in Chino

  • HISD to eliminate librarians and convert libraries into disciplinary centers at NES schools

  • Texas A&M University president resigns after Black journalist’s hiring at campus unravels

  • Texas A&M suspended professor accused of criticizing Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in lecture

  • The lessons Florida public school students will learn from PragerU Kids

  • The Creators of Florida’s Black History Standards Get an F on Their Homework

  • Florida’s Black history standards are even worse than reported

  • College Board Revisits Contentious Decisions, Edits to AP African American Studies Course

  • Manuel and Jeff discuss what this all means in the landscape of public education, the urgency required to resist and get on the offensive against this movement of policy violence, and some ideas about what we -- all of us, everywhere -- need to do now.
