Nice White Parents Serial

This podcast is good at many levels - because it raises fundamental questions as to what it will take to raise the public school infrastructure, and where is the process being slowed down. It very well asks the white human to introspect, but it also tell us one clear fact - integration, inclusion doesn't happen just by talking about it. We need to create space for diversity to represent itself and stop talking on the behalf of all those people who are not white. We have to give them the stage and the mic to speak. I wish this podcast can expand to look at different educational systems in the west and in the east, in the Latin America's, Asian countries.

If you’re a white person burdened with white guilt maybe listening to this will make you feel better. However, if you’re anybody else this might give you a gross feeling in your stomach listening to a white woman who thinks our immutable characteristics define us.

This podcast is incredible. It is compulsively bingeable. It is thoroughly researched and also includes many first hand interviews with people from decades of enrolment at the schools. It brings up so many important educational issues that are especially relevant in the current political climate. As a Canadian it was fascinating to learn about the public school system in NYC. I can’t say enough about this podcast. I still think about it a year later.
