Democrats must come up with a defense of public schools that goes beyond bloodless workforce preparation
In our new issue, @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social investigates the right-wing push toward βclassical education,β a departure from the longstanding bipartisan agreement that school should first and foremost prepare students for the daily grind.

We had a great conversation on this podcast. If you havenβt been paying attention to the politics of education in the past few years, this should get you up to speed.

Half the Answer #37: Trent and Caitlin speak with Jennifer Berkshire and Jack Schneider about their recent book "The Education Wars: A Citizenβs Guide and Defense Manual." What rhetorical strategies have been employed to convince us to allow the public school system to be degraded and dismantled?

Back in grad school I spent the entire day working on something for a mentor. I proudly told him.
He then scolded me for wasting my day on something he could have showed me how to do in 30 minutes.
Looking back, this was one of the most important lessons I received (unpleasant though it was).

Filling classrooms with computers didn't have the huge and positive impact on learning that was promised. Filling them with tablets hasn't done it either.
I know this might sound absurd to many (especially politicians) but what if we filled them with highly skilled and properly supported educators?

I've been working with some PPS parents on a project that has sparked a lot of uncomfortable (and necessary IMO) conversations about the district's approach to TAG. I'm incredibly proud that our work was discussed by @haveyouheard.bsky.social - I hope you will listen!

Trump Is the Enemy of the American Revolution
He has produced a crisis much like the one the colonists faced two and a half centuries ago. Now itβs our responsibility to uphold the Foundersβ legacy.
As Trump threatens to invade cities, rig the vote, and honor those who attacked the Capitol and threatened the Constitution, all with the backing of GOP officeholders, it is time to acknowledge that we no longer have a legitimate federal government and our experiment in self-government is ending...
