In hour one, Michelle takes a closer look at Indianapolis’ ongoing experiment with privatizing public education. She examines how privatization efforts have reshaped schools in the city, fueled segregation, and impacted students, teachers, and school staff. The conversation explores the broader consequences of treating public education as a marketplace rather than a public good.
In hour two, Clayton and Mark sit down with Jeff Demaree, a Cincinnati Public Schools teacher and pedestrian safety advocate. Jeff provides an update on his efforts to organize teens around pedestrian safety and traffic calming initiatives throughout Cincinnati, while discussing the importance of safer streets and youth engagement in local advocacy work.
