This week we explore the Green New Deal for Public Schools, Representative Jamaal Bowman's new congressional bill that would fund public schools throughout the country to the tune of $1.4 trillion so that they can address the climate crisis, systemic injustice, and economic disparity. For context, we do a little review of the Green New Deal and the original New Deal as well.

In episode 1 we introduce the podcast and interrogate the public perception of teachers. We look for answers in several months of education-related articles in The New York Times.
