Schools are increasingly becoming places for proxy battles between the Left and the Right. The Covid-19 pandemic has only added to this phenomenon, raising questions on masking and vaccination policies. No one knows more about this than our guest, Kathy Mulkerin, Director of the Walla Walla School Board in Washington State. When she ran for Director last year, she wasn’t expecting to receive national attention. But in her district that is made up of 46% students of color, she was the first woman of color to be elected to the board. We talk to her about being the representation she so badly needed growing up and why school boards need to be representative of the communities they’re serving.
