Episode 100!! - An educator’s view from Florida w/ Lorena Germán
Those of us educators and advocates outside of the state of Florida have been looking at the repressive and dangerous actions of the state government in shock. As the Republican leadership in Florida passes bills fundamentally altering the landscape of education, how are educators and the communities they serve being impacted? This week we’re joined by Florida-based author, educator, and super-dope returning guest Lorena Germán to examine the impact and responses to the bans, restrictions, and political attacks on marginalized perspectives in her state. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a story about a disturbing deepfake video of a principal and a move by political leaders in Texas to take over Houston Independent School District.
