Latinx News Roundtable: Boston Schools' English learners advisors resign in protest of 'harmful' plan

Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description

A new plan from Boston Public Schools to integrate students who are English language learners into general education classrooms has led to multiple resignations on BPS' English Learners Task Force.

Plus, compared to much of the country, Massachusetts has a low poverty rate. But it’s twice as high for Latinos.

And a flag mix-up results in a cultural snafu in the new, best-selling Spider-man video game.

Those stories and more on Under the Radar's Latinx News Roundtable.

GUESTS:

Julio Ricardo Varela, MSNBC opinion columnist and founder of Latino Rebels

Marcela García, opinion columnist and associate editor at the Boston Globe
