Lauren's sister Julie talks about a positive relationship she had with a teacher and how a vocational school saved her life; we discuss the utter lack of diversity in our schools growing up and the homophobia; we tell the story of Lauren's friend growing up who was bullied by kids and adults yet found enormous success; DeAndre's experience with a racist teacher in 3rd grade and the homophobic former classmates who are sliding into his DMs nowadays; we talk about the pros and cons interning versus learning in a classroom, a game where our guest has to figure out who said a messed up quote, a parent or an administrator!
