    More thoughts on hypocritical politicians

    In this episode, I talk about how some Republican candidates are trying to walk back their extremist views on such issues as the 2020 election and abortion rights. They are unabashedly trying to move away from their extreme views and take positions more towards the center. Also, I talk about book banning in public schools and how undemocratic that is.

    Conversation with Deborah Keys Write

    In this episode, Deborah Keys Write and I have a conversation about the work she does as a national school board consultant. We talk about some of the historical and contemporary issues facing school boards, including diversity, equity, and inclusion. We also discuss the recent national trend of politicizing local school board elections, which impacts their decisions about curriculum; whether or not certain topics can be discussed in classes; and which books cannot be available in school libraries. Finally, we talk about our recent discovery that we are siblings.
