Bilingual Education, Confusing ICE Ruling And A Street Vendor Fights Back
Published 9 years, 2 months ago
Description
On this week's Latinx roundtable: How will more flexibility regarding bilingual education affect classrooms in Massachusetts? Why is the attack on a Los Angeles street vendor reverberating nationwide? And what's in a name: Why would La Raza become UnidosUS? We also take a deep-dive into the recent Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling on ICE and discuss a sweet and funny short film exploring the lives of two queer, elderly Latinas. Guests: Julio Ricardo Varela, co-host of the “In The Thick” podcast, Latino USA contributor and founder of Latino Rebels; and Irene Mata, the Barbara Morris Caspersen associate professor of humanities and associate professor of women’s and gender studies at Wellesley College.
