Ep. 3 Education in America: What Are They Teaching Us? The Youth Vote
-
- Gouvernement
Today, we discuss how school curriculum could improve in America. We deconstruct the ways our history books emphasize whiteness, and talk about some of the more accurate and equitable narratives our classrooms should implement. In the second half of the show, we discuss what a more complete sex education would consist of. Finally, we take a look into an LGBTQ-inclusive classroom, and learn the ways all classrooms could be more welcoming and affirming.
Today's guests:
Vance Blackfox, Director of Public Relations, National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition
Dr. LaGarrett King; Professor of Learning, Teaching and Curriculum; University of Missouri
Brittany McBride, Associate Director of Sexuality Education, Advocates for Youth
Ace Schwarz, middle school science teacher and creator of Teaching Outside The Binary
