"Southern. Gay. Teacher" author Randy Fair rejoins the show to discuss Georgia's efforts to whitewash terms like "diversity" and :inclusion" from state teacher prep jargon, plus the rise in anti-gay and anti-trans rhetoric orbiting public education. He recently wrote an eye-opening op/ed in Other Words that seems to indicate society is backsliding on treatment of LGBTQ+ teachers - and students, too.
Why am I reminded of the movie "Remember the Titans?" Well a familiar scene seems to have played out at a Georgia high school soccer match - white players lobbing racial epithets and officials on the field somehow don't hear it while coaches on the sideline and parents in the stands do. Yeah, that scene. In care you're wondering, the school alleging the racism went on to win the state title tonight, so there's that.
Lastly, a Washington. Monthly opinion piece sums up nicely how President Biden's in a "damned if he does/doesn't" situation with the debt ceiling and how the GOP's sole aim is to sabotage his presidency even if it means American citizens suffer.
