Listen now
Description
Brown v. Board of Education ended school segregation 70 years ago this month. How has education changed for Black students since?Adult ISH is featuring a special episode of MindShift, a podcast from KQED that “explores the future of learning.” In a conversation that points out an often-ignored downside to desegregation in education, MindShift host and YR Media alum Nimah Gobir chats with Bettina Love, author of “Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal,” and co-founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network.The conversation explores how the Supreme Court ruling on Brown drastically reduced the number of Black teachers working, the impact of Ronald Reagan’s school crime policies on Black students, and how reparations can be used to repair some of the harm done to Black children in the education system. Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia.
