These Good Brothers The Article

In this episode we discuss Nikole Hannah-Jones's recent column in the NY Times magazine. The piece engages the experience of her daughter and their family navigating the New York Public School system. The piece touches on equity, school choice, our persistent segregation, and the fraught position our system puts parents in when making education choices for their kids. It has raised a storm of commentary and it touches a nerve central to our story. As always please take the best part for yourself. (Read both pieces before you get on the internet talking.)
