K-12 Culture Wars

Is it about history? Is it about race? Is it about politics? Who do you find when you follow the money? Why are teachers being fired and school board members receiving death threats? Is this unusual or have we seen it before in America? This week on State of Play, it's the K-12 Culture Wars. Join host, Sharon Pratt and co-anchor, Karen Tramontano as they take a deep dive into this battle that finds educators on the frontlines. Guests this week include Historian Dr. Hasan K. Jeffries of The Ohio State University; Dr. Dorinda Carter Andrews, chairperson of the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University; Chandler (AZ) Unified School District Board Member, Lindsay Love; journalists, author, podcast host, Jennifer Berkshire; and, President and CEO of the National Education Association (the nation's largest union), Becky Pringle.
