- Society & Culture
Where does language exist? In culture!
To understand the language, you must understand the culture. We are building a community profile of the city of Grand Rapids by interviewing the people and letting them tell us what they may. But that is not all! We also discuss topics related to linguistic discrimination, edutech, and the way of the future.
This is a podcast to free the tongue. A safe space to talk about what everyone knows but no one talks about. The good, the bad, and the solution. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/freethetonguepodcast/support

Death by The Institution of Education
So often many people remain silent about the abuse they experience at the hands of their employers, and thus it remains only whispers among the employee's. This only serves to strengthen the myth and legend of the power the employer has to continue their abuse and keep their employee's quiet and afraid.ย
The moment I spoke up about the clear discriminatory act committed against me by my admin, I predicted that I would be fired as a result. I documented my case every step of the way. I went through every appropriate channel that they offered to me to avoid discrimination. Understanding that it was most likely a farce, I know that it is hard for people to believe how ugly institutionalized discrimination is, so I went through every channel to show how broken the GRPS institution of education is....and how the members of the institution regardless of race, play a role in keeping it that way.ย

S2E3: Everyone Is Important
In this episode, I speak with a community leader running for the board of education, Jose Alexander. Jose provides us with insight into his experience in the district public schools, and the issues he saw firsthand that may be causing disproportionately low test scores for students of color. But he doesn't just start the conversation, he also talks about his tried and true solutions for bringing equity to our school district. This is a candidate that comes with solutions and perspective and is in touch with the kids and the community.
But don't just take our word for it. Check out this interview to find out!
