  • The Destruction of U.S. We are the Educators: S4 E1

    Season 4 is upon us! We are remote teaching, so it is justified. We also have a new year to comment on in a different way. 

    In this 40th episode, we introduce 2 new segments, and take a different approach to our notes. 

     We do discuss the events of January 6th, 2021, where protestors took to the Capital, and where we are as a nation going into 2021.  

    Thank you for listening and supporting us thus far!
