University of Massachusetts (Lowell) Associate Professor Jack Schneider and journalist Jennifer Berkshire, also hosts of the education policy podcast "Have You Heard," say there's more happening with these movements than meets the eye.

In this episode, they reflect on the history of parental rights movements, the political agendas at play, and how these movements impact educators and students.
