Normally Podcast: Teachers Unions Under Fire, Homeschooling Debate & The Crisis in American Education

On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham is joined by Nicki Neily, founder and president of Defending Education, for an in-depth conversation about the growing crisis in American education. The discussion examines the American Federation of Teachers convention, Randi Weingarten's re-election, and ongoing criticism of teachers unions over school closures, declining student achievement, and accountability. Mary Katharine and Nicki also dive into the national debate surrounding homeschooling, school choice, public education funding, and why more families are leaving traditional public schools. They also explore higher education's growing ideological divide, the lack of viewpoint diversity on college campuses, and how public confidence in universities continues to decline.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
