Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

This week, Jon and Robin are taking a closer look at systemic racism in education. There was SO MUCH INFORMATION to cover! Too much, really. But this episode gives listeners some insight into the racist ideas that informed explicitly racist education systems, what those explicitly racist systems looked like, and how systemic racism impacts education today. There's also some talk about outcomes for students of color, a few rants, and even some good news at the end.
