In this episode, we sat down with Anne Lutz Fernandez—former investment banker, retired teacher, and co-author of Schooled—to discuss education’s role in the 2024 election. 

We discussed Trump’s first-term policies, Biden and Harris’s records on education, and how the next administration could shape public education going forward. Anne also talked about tensions between federal and local governance, the influence of unions, and what the Harris campaign could be doing to close the deal.  

*At some point in the episode Nate misidentified Glenn Youngkin as the Governor of Oklahoma, rather than Virginia, apologies.
