Striving Towards Multiracial Democracy with Andrew Lefkowits [IEP 159]

We’re excited to share this enlightening conversation with you today. It will give you a whole new meaning of the term “good schools” and it will give you a reason to consider the benefits of an integrated school. Our guest, Andrew Lefkowits, is part of the leadership team at Integrated Schools and is the host of the Integrated Schools Podcast. Integrated Schools is a grass-roots organization started back in 2015 with the focus on parents with the racial or economic privilege to engage in the education system in a different way than they have in the past, in the hope that all kids are learning together and strides toward true, multiracial democracy are being made. Show Highlights: Andrew explains why he has trouble with the traditionally-understood meaning of “good schools”. Integrated Schools started out as a blog by Courtney Everts Mykytyn, and Andrew shares how their lives intersected. Desegregation and integration: defining the differences. Children have to be a central part of the difficult conversations. We are not providing the same education to all our children. Create a supportive environment for people to do their self-work so that they can learn to engage in a more helpful way. Connect with Integrated Schools!
