Episode 145 | Come for Bad Bunny, Stay for Community

Bad Bunny’s halftime show gave us culture, joy, and conversation, but it also gave us curriculum. In this episode of Our Classroom, Roberto Germán breaks down the symbolism behind the performance and explores how it can be used in classrooms as a powerful teaching text. From the sugar cane field imagery to the Puerto Rican flag, from honoring his mother’s maiden name to featuring Ricky Martin and centering Spanish language, this conversation examines how representation, history, gender, language, and class were all embedded in the visuals. This episode is about more than a halftime show. It’s about how culture carries memory and how educators can teach with it, not around it. Come for Bad Bunny. Stay for community. Teach in Truth. Lead with Courage. Belong to a Community That Gets It.
