EP 71: Defying Gravity to Lift Up Public Education
Subscribe:
Our guests were WEAC (Teacher's Union) President Peggy Wirtz-Olsen and Dr. Julie Underwood, Professor Emerita of Educational Law and Policy Analysis and former Dean of the School of Education at UW-Madison.
We talked about opportunities to undue ACT 10, which took away teachers' ability to collectively bargain, private school vouchers that are bleeding our public schools dry, and education funding formulas that create inequalities throughout the state.
And finally, we talked about Defying Gravity, and how we can no longer accept the political status quo.
