The one thing most Americans agree on besides apple pie is that November 5, 2024 is a very big day in US history. What are the issues we should be reflecting on as we choose our national, state, and local leaders? Does it really all come down to the economy (stupid)? Or Project 2025? Or reproductive rights?
How about this one? Educational equity? Now there's an election issue you don't hear nearly enough about. And it's nothing short of a pillar of democracy!! So in the lead-up to the election, the gals are learning about learning, about thinking, about probing beyond the headlines and scary news talk that has way too much to do with ... pets?!
First up in the queue, die-hard nerds Nat and Ang are joined by some stiff nerd competition! Dr. Chloe Latham Sikes is an expert on educational policy and Deputy Director of Policy for IDRA, a non-profit organization committed to educational equity. She offers some mind-blowing, gob-smacking truths about what is happening to and in schools across the country and what that means to all of us who care about a healthy democracy.
