#53 - Asian Americans, Education, and the Fight for Justice w/ Dr. Hsieh

Published 5 years, 9 months ago

Description

The academic success of Asian American students is often propped up as proof that it only takes hard work and dedication to be successful in America regardless of one’s race. However, the truth is that not all Asian American groups are experiencing success in our school system and the so-called “model minority” idea is a harmful myth. Professor Dr. Betina Hsieh joins us to unpack the narratives around Asian American students as we explore anti-racism and the pursuit of educational justice. But first, Jeff and Manuel explore recent headlines in education including a scandalous story about online credit recovery and a report about widespread violations to the Americans with Disabilities Act on our school campuses.
