---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education.

Shouldn't people be put before profits? Shouldn't our children be educated to grow and learn instead of being treated like the means to the financial gain of those in power? If you agree with this so-called "radical" and "revolutionary" perspective, you've come to the right place!

Join educators Gord Milstone and John Battalion as they call out systemic problems and discuss how we can break down barriers in the educational system. Engage with us on social media at @LRedSchoolHouse on twitter. You can also find us on Patreon at patreon.com/LittleRedSchoolHouse.

The truth hurts! That's why on this episode of Little Red School House Gord and I (John) get Brutally Honest as we discuss the Rhode Island school district that had planned to food shame and punish it's students for their lunch debts, and the larger topic of how under Capitalism profit is valued over anything and everything else.

Luckily the RI district scrapped it's plans due to backlash. However, we have had enough!

If you feel the same way we do and want to help make sure school districts don't enact this type of horrid action again subscribe to, or keep listening to our podcast and follow our twitter feed. An announcement about our plans to make sure every child is fed will be released soon.

***Trigger Warning*** We will be discussing school shootings and related topics.

Welcome to our second episode of Little Red School House!

In this episode, we have a conversation with Anarchist author and organizer Cindy Milstein. Cindy is known for her writing, most recently in her latest book about collective grieving and mourning titled Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief. Our discussion's purpose is to highlight the 'new normal' of school shootings and the trauma and grief they cause, along with students' exposure to stress and trauma in a profit-motivated school system. The context we focus on is the current education system in the USA, however, most centers of capitalist power experience similar realities. Little Red School House focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education.
