New Years Ed News Roundup: Harvard Pres, AI, Cops Banning Books, and Ed Dept Resignation Over Gaza - Passing Period #114

This Week: Happy New Year to the AOTA family. Manuel and Jeff are back in the studio post winter break and doing a roundup of lots of headlines since we’ve last been with you.  We got the insanity coming out of Harvard with them chasing a Black, woman president out over racist nonsense. We got a new survey showing that teachers are feeling better about the profession and want to learn more about AI before using it. We got cops in MA coming into a middle school to ban a book after an anonymous complaint about a book about a gender queer young person. And not to be outdone, we have a Palestinian American official in the USDOE resigning in the face of Biden’s escalating support for Genocide in Gaza.  Manuel and Jeff discuss it all!
