Episode 2 - Segregated Schools, Segregated Funding We Teach Us
-
- Education
On this episode of We Teach Us Podcast, we look at continued segregation―specifically at the intersection of race and class―of our schools in America. In the Do Now segment, I ask students, teachers, and parents the question: "Why do some schools receive less funding and resources than others?" In the We Do segment, I speak to Brittany Packnett-Cunningham (@MsPackyetti), who is an unapologetic educator, organizer, policy expert, non-profit executive, and writer. Brittany was active in the Ferguson Uprising and is co-founder of Campaign Zero, a policy platform to end police violence. She was a Fall 2018 Fellow and current Director’s Leader at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, and a member of the Ferguson Commission, and President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing.
