Episode Details

Every January, schools quote Dr. King—but rarely follow him. In this unapologetic MLK Week episode, the BVBOE team challenges how MLK’s legacy has been sanitized, softened, and weaponized against the very communities he fought for. From discipline policies to “order over justice,” this conversation asks a hard question: Would MLK be welcomed in today’s schools—or written up, removed, and labeled disruptive? This is not a tribute. It’s a confrontation.
