-
- Politics
In this episode, Kennedy, Chi, and Bob explore the destruction of public ed through means such as assigning kids videos from PragerU—an unaccredited fake university funded by big money to push conservative propaganda—as well as scam charter schools and the white washing history through textbook revision. We share some of our own personal experience of austerity and right-wing propaganda pushed in the classroom, and also the destruction of the natural environment related to the topics glossed over in one of the PragerU courses mentioned in the show which were assigned to students in an Ohio high school.
And then finally, big shout out to Movimiento al Socialismo for their Sunday win over the coup-imposed government in Bolivia! Plus analysis of the upcoming United States election and how it's not at all the same as the experience in Bolivia. Hope you enjoy!!
