This week’s The Warning podcast features Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. Given that education has become so highly politicized in America, we covered a lot of territory from book banning, to the dangers that students and teachers face on a daily basis, to whether or not our politicians care to fix what’s broken in the educational system.
What is the purpose of our education system today, and what should it be?
What are the implications of banning books for children?
What percentage of teachers do you think are satisfied with their profession?
What can we, as citizens, do to address the issue of gun violence in our schools?
I ask Randi these and many other questions over a fascinating hour-long conversation. A short clip from it is below. If you’d like to upgrade to a Premium podcast subscription to listen to the podcast NOW (and to see the full membership benefits), click here.
The bottom line: Kids' lives are more important than AR-15s! We must work together in communities. -Activism to stand up to Autocracy. Thank you Randi Weingarten and Steve Schmidt for addressing this most important issue, problems and solutions. We need powerful and passionate leaders and speakers to protect Our Children, and to speak up for quality education as a priority in this nation.
She is right, 100%.
