About this listen
In this episode, we explore three defining stories that capture the crossroads of American education. First, we examine the growing divide over ethnic studies, as debates about race, history, and identity turn classrooms into cultural battlegrounds. Then, we unpack the latest federal budget proposals and how shifts in school funding under the Trump administration could reshape priorities, deepen inequalities, and redefine the federal role in education. Finally, we highlight a more hopeful narrative — the educators and districts working to share positive stories that celebrate innovation, community, and resilience in public schools. Together, these stories paint a vivid picture of an education system wrestling with its values, struggling over resources, and striving to tell a truer, more inspiring story of what’s possible in America’s classrooms.
