40: Episode 40: Dr. Joshua Cowen on The right wing's attack on public schools using vouchers

Here's the 40th episode!!!In this week's episode, I share some thoughts on WJR-AM's "next generation" of talk show hosts, which kinda sounds like the same as the last generation. I also talk about how former Republican "Nerd" Governor, Mr. Flint Water Crisis, himself, Rick Snyder is back in the news, announcing that he's helping Michigan Republicans take over the state legislature in 2024!Then, Dr. Joshua Cowen, Professor of Education Policy at Michigan State University, joins me to talk about the right wing movement--or war--to eradicate public schools across the country. Dr. Cowen has spent nearly two decades researching school choice and voucher programs, and how vouchers don't live up to the hype. I've included some of Dr. Cowen's articles in the show notes at the bottom of the page. And please, follow Dr. Cowen on Twitter!This week's "Last Call" delves into how former Michigan Republican Congressman Fred Upton will back a candidate from the so-called "No Labels" party. But I show how "No Labels" is primarily concerned with aiding and abetting its corporate donors, but how it hurts average Americans on a daily basis. Thank you for listening, and please subscribe to the blog and podcast.
