Lisa Barry - teacher, policy advocate, Ep 5

Lisa Barry is a 5th grade teacher in San Antonio, Texas and nominee for 2019-2020 Texas Teacher of the year! In this episode, we discuss her additional role in education policy - borne of the need she saw with her own students to promote tolerance in the classroom by studying history - specifically, the Holocaust. Her advocacy for Holocaust education to be mandatory all Texas public schools was instrumental in getting Senate Bill 1828 enacted into law.
